The situation in Israel is comparable to taking the entire nation of Haiti and carving out an area between Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa, resettling all Haitians in that land, recognizing it as a sovereign state, and then expecting the displaced midwesterners to not have animosity over lost land their ancestors held for generations before the Haitians were resettled.
I feel for the Palestinians, but not to the extent where I condone suicide bombers going into a restaurant where a 5 year old Israeli kid is celebrating his 5th birthday and blowing himself up killing the 5 year old and everyone else inside.
The world, besides a few anti-semites, recognizes Israel as a sovereign state. Palestinians are in the same boat as the Kurds where they are a large nation of peoples who do not have a state to call their own. BTW, Kurds are the largest ethnic group (also called nation) in the world who does not have a state to call their own.

Not quite. Afterall it wasn't the Haitians who did it, but the British.
Also, can't quite compare Haiti's problems with the holocaust.

You're 100% right. I was just using a hypothetical with the Haitians to encapsulate how the Palestinians feel currently regarding land and Israel. Plus, Haiti has always been one of the if not THE poorest sovereign state in the Western hemisphere. A lot of it can be blamed on Papa Doc Duvalier and his son, but the leaders beforehand were not exactly inspiring either.
