And the problem goes back to Genesis 16 when Abram and Sarai tried to solve their infertility problem and bring about God's promise that Abram would be the father of many by (ab)using Hagar leading to Ishmael and thus to the Arab people. And as back then with invading armies from Persian, Syria, Assyria etc Israel is fighting for their very existence. If anyone thinks that the goal is Palestinian freedom and a Palestinian state you are very mistaken.
