I think at this point that the whole [i]Jewish Occupation[\i] thing is missing a big point. The Jews have done a lot to improve the infrastructure of the area that would probably not have been done otherwise... Let's also not forget that the Palestinians have their share of blood on their hands as well (the Jews of Israel have blood on their hands as well).
The Jews aren't going anywhere at this point, so any solutions to the problems between the Palestians and the Jewish people of Israel are going to need to recognize this fact, something that many Islams cannot seem to grasp (particularly those of non-Palestian origin who stick their nose into the mess and make things even worse). Both Palestians and Jews deserve a right to live in peace. It would be great if both sides could come to terms, but unfortunately for the Palestians, they have the help of people like the Iranians and Syrians who constantly stir up a bee's nest of trouble in making claims like pushing the Jews of Israel into the sea... Things like denying a whole people the right to exist doesn't sound like helping too much.
