Is Israel to blame for their conflict with Palestine?

It all comes back to WWII - they shouldn't have taken (or be given) that land like that. There were people living in that place before they settled there.

The land belonged to the Palestinians and their ancestors until Western powers decided that the Jews should live there instead. It is completely unlawful and unfair to the native Palestinian people.

Guest User 238 : and that justifies stealing land from other people? Israel ought to be dissolved and their land given back to Palestinians. Either that or be shared between both and not like they're doing it now.

Jews had no choice but to go to Israel, because a Jewish state was the only way they could survive as a religion from others who wanted to exterminate them off the face of the earth.

Yes, since the recent conflict started when Israeli police fenced off an entrance to Jerusalem's old walled city at the start of Ramadan

At this point they've been fighting so long that it no longer matters who started what. The Palestinians rejected a two state peace deal years ago. If peace isn't possible they'll fight instead. Like it or not, one side has to come out as the winner. Laying blame is irrelevant at this point.

No. The land is rightfully Jewish land.

Nope, learn some history, that was Palestinian land.

A terrorist organization was firing missiles into Israel's cities, killing women and children. What Israel was doing was simply self defense. The Palestinians and Hamas are at complete fault for the conflict.

No, Gaza was the one who fired first.
