It was the arabs and not the Jews who refused to accept the original partition. If the arab world had succeeded in 1948 there would be no Israel. And they have never accepted a Jewish state and will never rest until it is destroyed. Then people like you will say "they had it coming".

The Palestinians were within their rights to reject an imperialist plan that was arrived at without consulting them or their consent and was blatantly unfair and detrimental to them. No nation can be faulted for rejecting its own colonisation.
However, if Israel had wanted peace it could have achieved it quite easily, per the 2002 Arab Peace Plan. Sadly, it preferred to continue to occupy and colonise the OPT until today, when there is no solution possible except for an egalitarian state in all of Palestine. A.k.a. one state solution.
Israel only needs to "defend" itself because it is colonialist, expansionist entity that seeks to gain land at the expense of the indigenous Palestinians, expels them and seeks to keep those that remain in an apartheid regime. That is indefensible.
You are quite knowledgeable compared to many. We must agree to disagree. I can only hope that the day will come when this issue no longer exists. I do not think I will live long enough to see it.
