What i hate about israel?

Imagine that you have a large home where you live in a joint family with your kin. One day, you get new neighbours, who are refugees from another country. Slowly, refugees start settling in and start calling your whole village as their territory, promised to them by God, 1000 years back. You try and reason with them. They go to UN and get an agreement from the security council that the village belongs to both you and the neighbours. They break your boundary wall and build a new home. Then the break your home and extend their home. Then they throw you out of your own home and take away your civil rights. You, your kin all shift to colonies outside village, in a slum because now there are international troops ensuring that being the uncivilized muslim you are, you dont attack your civilized neighbours. You get angry and throw rocks. They attack you with fighter planes, tanks and missiles. Your rock hurts an armed trooper, it causes international concern. They blow up a childrens ward in your colony, the whole western press justifies the attack as "action against militants".You protest at UN, the UN disqualifies the protest. They tag you as jehadist and get you arrested. You have no future. They own this game.

This is probably the best summary of the israel palestine conflict - the root of all modern terrorism today. From the actions of this community, i think they have justified the hatred Germans showed towards them during the second world war.  I am against death of any unarmed civilian, muslim or jew. I am against any vendetta against any community. I strongly believe in Israeli nationhood. I love Israeli women (specially the sexy lady soldiers of IDF). But i also believe that if Israel were to make a serious attempt at allowing Palestinians to live in a respectful way, it will help demotivate a lot of Muslim youth globally. Hell, I think any rational youth would feel compelled to sympathise with the Palestinians here. The democratic revolutions at Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Yemen have given me hope that something different will happen in future. But Obama is a dissappointment.
