When something was done multiple generations ago like the creation of Israel, I think it's a done deal. Just like the take over of the americas by Europeans, or various wars of conquest in the past. It sucks and is horrible. But one has to move forward. I'm not condoning Israel's current actions, but I think they now have a right to continued existence and to defend themselves (but with reasonable safeguards for civilians, unlike what they're doing now). So to recap: what Israel is doing now is unacceptable. They've also done unacceptable stuff in the past. They've also had to defend themselves from unacceptable stuff done to them in the past. They are a stubborn bunch that are insanely over doing their revenge now - just like their many enemies would do to them if they could. It sucks.
