I wonder where you get this idea? The majority of the "palestinians" voted for Hamas. The oft stated goal of Hamas is the complete destruction of Israel by the murder of all of its inhabitants (whereever they may flee). See http://www.townhall.com/funnies/cartoonist/ScottStantis/2006/07/3 for the same point made much more poignantly.

Ever heard of the Arab League? Do you have any idea which nations declared war on Israel in 1948, and whether any of those nations included "Palestine"? Do you believe that the war in Iraq is illegal because it wasn't sanctioned by the "international community" or the United Nations? Because, if you do, then you can't logically consider Israel to be illegal or the "illegal Zionist interlopers", since they were granted their country by UN sanction.

That's thoroughly demeaning to their humanity and straight out of the Zionist playbook. There is a Palestine. And there are Palestinians -- who have suffered under the jackboots of the illegal Zionist interlopers ever since 1948. To deny Palestinians their dignity, their land, their livelhood, and their lives is racism at its worst. Israel must ultimately be held accountable for these crimes.
