The major problem is that the Israelis dispossessed the Palestinians two generations ago and there has never been a proper acknowledgment or compensation for that.
You might want to look into the history a bit more closely. I have. You might also want to factor in three Arab wars of utter extermination against Israel that have, amazingly, somehow been written out of the history of the Middle East. Wars that began moments after the U.N. negotiations were completed. Wars that, if they had not taken place, would have had a Palestinian state in place much larger than the West Bank and Gaza.
To hear people talk, you'd think the folks on the West Bank (when it was part of Jordan) were just minding their own business, raising orchids, when the evil Israelis rolled in and took it over.
