No, it's not unfair to accuse a terrorist of terrorism, no one gives a shit why they decided to resort to terrorism. No amount of "but they had it coming/but look what they -made- us do" is going to excuse one faction or another.
1)The land of Israel was a biblical story, not supported by any valid evidence
-Whether or not it existed in antiquity it exists now. There is no United States of America in the distant past either. Should we pack up shop, maybe condense our civilization into a smaller % of the north american landmass and give the rest back to whoever claims to have been part of an older wave of immigration?
2)The Jewish presence in Palestine started in the 15th century after the spanish inquisition, which proves that Jews weren't natives of Palistine, rather than "immigrating minorities" who composed their own community there.
-Bickering over which wave of emigration holds primacy over another is pointless. We're all immigrants.
3)The state of Israel was founded by dividing a larger piece of land for the benefit of the immigrating mass of jews, rather than the natives. The west was biased towards the jews by historical evidences ; since more than 50% of the land was given to the jews.
-Snapshot in time, the west's attitude towards jews is largely one of stereotypes and exclusion. What would be an acceptable percentage to you, of course realizing that whatever percentage you feel isn't "greedy" or whatnot is inconsequential when drawing borders?
