I'm not necessarily pro-Palestine. All in all I think the Arabs are the much bigger douches in this deal, however:
What would you do if the UN declared LSU to be under the control of ....say....Alabama (or insert your most hated rival)? Alabama would say "If you would just accept our ownership of LSU, we could have peace". I think most people would say screw you and the UN.
His point about "there's never been an Arab state - there have been several jewish states"....Arabs didn't have states. It's like the Eddie Izzard comedy routine on England and India "You haven't got a flag" Iran, Iraq, Israel were all states created by peace treaties.

For centuries the Ottoman Empire controlled the area.
After they were defeated and their empire broken up in WWI there have been problems with all of the countries formed after their defeat.
Look at Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and what was supposed to be another Arab state formed after WWII in Palestine.
It's a mess, and there's no doubt about that; but the biggest question is why haven't these nations "evolved" and lived in some sort of peace?
We can go back decades and find people on both sides who were terrorists, Nazi supporters, Communists, and others who were picked on and mistreated.
But it's 2014. Reality is Israel is over 60 years old. Israel isn't going anywhere. We can either continue to see periodic wars with innocents on both sides getting killed, or people can try to get along.
We all know what they are choosing to do, we see it everyday on the news.
