I agree and actually I remember talking about that with Loki some time back when I said it's human nature to be prejudiced but keeping it to ourselves is what makes us civil.

I'm sure if Muslims decided one day to make the state you live in a Muslim State and told you to move aside as they bulldoze your house, you would understand the sentiment a little better.

While this is true, I can also understand why the Arabs rejected the two-state solution. Using my example again, would you accept that Muslim State knowing that it's not occupying ALL the of the US, just the part where you live? Would that make it acceptable to you?

The Arabs were defeated every time and still provoke war..
Maybe the reason why people don't get this is because they can't tell apples from oranges... "Arab" is a reference to a race. "Israel" is a reference to a country. The U.S. fought the Filipinos, the Japanese, the Koreans, the Chinese and the Vietnamese but if I were to use your semantics I would just be saying it was the same dumb-ass Asians that keep coming at us.
If you're referring to the Arab League of Nations, they've been chill since 1974. All the attacks since then were from stateless entities like Hamas and Hezbollah... the only two Arab nations to attack Israel since 1974 was Syria (once) and Lebanon (twice). In none of these cases will you find a situation where Israel didn't have a ridiculous advantage in terms of weapons and funding.
The wars with the Arab nations that stretch from 1947 to 1974 are often described as the Arab-Israeli Wars and they don't all fit into your description either...
The First Arab-Israeli War, 1947-49, did not start with an attack on the State of Israel because the State of Israel wasn't recognized by ANYONE as a sovereign nation yet. "Israel" was literally a stateless terrorist organization that did the same thing ISIS was trying to do by declaring a "rightful" domain. In fact the U.S. and Britain imposed restrictions on arms coming into Palestine (which is what the place was called then) BECAUSE they were... terrorists. So... the terrorists snagged a deal with Czechoslovakia for smuggled shipments of weapons that were intended for the Nazis (including brand new Messerschmidts) then they declared their independence and yeah, they basically kicked ass. I guess that's terrorism done right.
The Second Arab-Israeli War in 1956 did not start with an attack on Israel either. This time Israel attacked the Arabs... specifically, Egypt and Israel was joined by the British and the French. So not only was Israel the aggressor but they had two super-powers on their side while Egypt was alone defending it's borders. What was happening here is that Nasser had just nationalized the Suez Canal. So the British and French basically tried to do what the U.S. did in Iraq and change the regime. But then the UN stepped in to say the invasion was a violation of international law, which of course they did during our invasion of Iraq but the difference is the British, French and Israelis complied. Bush went ahead anyway, which is what G.W.Bush is officially registered as a war criminal.
The Third Arab-Israeli War, 1967... Incredibly, this is yet another one where Israel attacked first. They launched air strikes on Egyptian airbases. Israel justified their attacks by saying that Egypt closed the Straights of Tiran to Israeli shipping, which they did, but that's not the same thing as attacking their country. The surprise air strikes just about destroyed the entire Egyptian airforce, then Israeli ground forces invaded the Sinai and took Gaza. That's when Nassar induced Syria and Jordan to attack Israel. Israel won mostly because none of the Arab nations had a plan because they weren't expecting a fight. Israel DID have a plan because they WERE expecting to fight because THEY were planning on taking the Sinai! They also took the Golan Heights from Syria and the West Bank from Jordan. The UN, (probably regretting by now that they recognized the State of Israel in the first place) said you have to give those territories back and Israel basically told the UN to **** off.
The Fourth Arab-Israeli War, 1973 (Yom Kippur War) technically, this war did not start with an attack on Israel either because the territories they attacked technically belonged to them, not Israel. Egypt moved forces into the Sinai, which according to the UN still rightfully belonged to Egypt and Syria moved into the Golan Heights which according to the UN still rightfully belonged to Syria. So these countries were simply trying to get their territory back. There were no plans to attack the recognized State of Israel.

Israel has returned occupied land in trade for peace only to be attacked again unprovoked ...
First of all, they never returned any of the West Bank back to Jordan, they never returned the Golan to Syria and they never returned the Gaza to Egypt. All they did is withdraw their troops from the Gaza Strip while maintaining control of everything going in and coming out, including water, and electricity. Do you know why they pulled the troops out? Because the Geneva Convention applies human rights standards to occupying forces. So Israel pulled their forces out so the law no longer applies and now they can use their siege-like advantages to literally turn Gaza into a living hell. It's pretty sick.

That's a pretty narrow statement. Inmates in our federal prison have a right to live here too.

Jewish Ghetos in Nazi Germany were run by Jews too. Just because you put someone in charge of something doesn't mean your giving them control.

That's not about a difference in culture, it's a difference in socioeconomics and freedom. When people are oppressed to the point of inhumanity, they pass fear and hatred to their children. When people are privileged and happy, they pass science and literature.

Which was the Zionist plan all along. They never wanted a two-state solution, they want the Palestinians to either die or accept their fate as sub-humans and one way to insure that is to push them into the most intolerable situations possible which guarantees their violent behavior which in their mind justifies their execution.
Zionists... Not the Israeli people, not the Jews of the world... but the Zionists controlling the Israeli government.
NO BETTER THAN ISIS!
