Can you blame them? When the state was created Jews only made up 13% of Israel. The land is really theirs.(<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://mondediplo.com/1997/11/israel">http://mondediplo.com/1997/11/israel</a><!-- m -->). The only reason the British were in control of it post-World War 1 was to over see the creation of both states.
I agree that the sentiment among Palestinians is pretty angry, but you can't blame them. Place America in Palestine's shoes and Canada in Israel's. You can imagine how you'd get fucking pissed.
