This is true. But the Palestinians have a genuine grievance, and are still treated as, at best, second-class citizens. This is a situation which cannot continue if peace is ever going to be a real possibility. If the Palestinians are to be convinced that a two-state solution will work, and Hamas and the like to be marginalised, Israel and the US need to start making some serious changes. Unfortunately, even suggesting this to some of the more fundamentalist Zionists seems to make one an anti-semite. This is a frustrating rhetorical manoeuvre, and hamstrings a lot of debate about Israel IME.
