Israel, always.
Because I feel deep sympathy with the Jews and their right to their historical homeland. I will not sympathise with anyone who is hostile towards Israel and the Jews.

awwwwww, the poor jews have had people killed because of a "terrorist" suicide bomber :( sniff sniff.... What about the thousands of palestinians who were butchered in return and pushed out of their homes and land?? What about the air strike on Gaza which was financially fuelled by the US and many thousands of men, women & children were killed? What about Israel & USA denying Palestine its rights to get recognised as a state, when ALL other countries said YES???
well I think I feel sympathy towards the jews too, especially because palestine was 'religiously' their land so that gives them every reason to murder its citizens to rightfully take it back... my final question is, why exactly do you feel sympathy towards the jews??? The media makes you think that Israelis are the ones being attacked by so called 'terrorists' when Israel is the one who attacked in the first place...

No, it's not about terrorists. It's about the essence of the conflict, about Israel's right to exist. That's what the conflict is about. Arabs rejected and still reject the idea of a Jewish state in the Middle East. If Israel gave the West Bank and a Palestinian state was formed the conflict would continue and we'd just get the same situation we had before the West Bank was occupied namely that the whole Arab/muslim world rejects the idea of a Jewish state in the Middle East.
Israel has offered peace in exchange for secure borders multiple times but the Palestinians walked out from negotiations. Abbas is just trying a different strategy by going to the Israel-hating UN since he knows that the majority of Arabs and muslims in the world would never accept a negotiated peace deal with Israel anyway.

It seems to me that the Muslim world is willing to tolerate Israel's criminal behavior currently, so what would change if Israel made concessions? Israel would still be strong enough that no-one would want tangle with them, and so long as the concessions Israel made wouldn't leave the West Bank a crippled non-state riddled with Israeli military highways and restricted areas, the Israel-haters would lose a good deal of legitimacy, and this loss of legitimacy would extend to Hamas
Given its strength, Israel can afford to make all the land concessions it pleases and not have to worry one iota about security, and therefore it should make the concessions that are only fair and just for it to make.

The arabs wanted to get rid of Israel before the occupation, so why would that change if Israel went to pre-1967 borders?
We would just see different arguments as disguise for the root issue - Israels right to exist. Instead of statehood the focus would shift toward the right (of millions of Arab refugees) to return and about the status of Jerusalem. The Israel haters weren't satisfied when Israel gave up Gaza.
