You missed my point on this entirely.

No, Israel's problem is that the frustration of the Palestinians who don't strap bombs to their kids is equal to the ones who do, and the international community feels sympathy toward them as the victims of an ugly mess that was created by the vestiges of colonial power in the Middle East. Nor is it Israel's fault for having been created in the first place. Nations occupy space.
If there were any nation in the world capable of occupying, say, New Mexico and evicting its residents under the banner of international accords, you would probably feel differently about it.

That's funny. The international community didn't feel all that sympathetic when Jordon kicked out Araphat and the other Palis. But then, Jordon is not a Jewish state.
