As most know Israel was an invented state that sprung out of specific Zionist arguments as spelled out by Leo Pinsker in Auto- Emancipation in 1882. Pinsker, a citizen of Russia, knew of the horror Jews were facing in the Russia pogroms and needs for the Jewish people of a "National Home." His paper led to another paper written by a Austrian Jewish journalist, Theodore Herzl, in 1896 called, Der Judenstaat or "The Jew's State." Previous to this opinion that the Jews needed their own state, many rabbi's said that a Jewish state was not possible until the Messiah has come. I guess their messiah was the a document by the name of the Balfour Declaration and the queen of England.
The Balfour Declaration, however, never said that Palestine would be turned into a Jewish State, in fact there weren't any borders that declared a Jewish state. Another point is that this would be a "National Homeland" and not a STATE, under geographical terms a State is a land the is politically recognized by other governments and Nation is a tightly knit group of people who may or may not constitute a STATE/COUNTRY. Under this declaration, Israel was only given status of National Homeland and not a Jewish State.
When European Jews came to Palestine they did not find an empty land. There were pocket of Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Samarians living there. Many of these Europeans were able to find land for sale that was sold by the absentee landlords. Under Palestinian culture, absentee landlords permitted "peasants" to occupy their land and tend to farming and animal husbandry to pay for the "rent." I would suspect that these absentee landlords figured that the new owners would continue to honor that aspect, but these Europeans, who knew nothing about farming or the dry land of Palestine, kicked off these "peasants" and started their own kibbutz after learning how to work the land.
Then came the Jewish terrorists, Haganah and Irgun who ruthlessly murdered Palestinian women and children in Hebron and other Palestinian territories. These 2 "para-military" groups were professionally trained with many of their members having been apart of the armed forces in their primary country of origin. Although the Wailing Wall massacre was a hideous event nothing could compare to the decades of torture and humiliation that Palestinians face and will continue to face until the Messiah and Madhi returns to this DUNYA.
What is happening today is no surprise. The Jews will continue to wash out blood with blood and will probably not stop until they have Gaza again under their full control. Palestinians will continue to not be allowed water, food, electricity, and life. Jewish Zealots will continue to build their illegal homesteads on Palestinian land and get shot at for stealing the property.
What we will not allow Israel to get away with is calling Palestinians terrorists. We as Muslims in the west need to stand up to our government and tell them that we do not accept their support of this illegal occupation of Palestine. We must also inform our fellow citizens what is really happening to HUMANS in Palestine, without rationalizing the use of violence, which should never be accepted unless you are being attacked and looking down the barrel of a gun.
Allah azawajul does not honor those who turn to violence to make a point politically or socially. Even if Israel is doing something entirely against basic human rights and illegal, Allah will justly deal with them in the akhera.
