Well, Quran 3:26 says this: "Say: "O Allah! Lord of Power (And Rule), Thou givest power to whom Thou pleasest, and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest: Thou enduest with honour whom Thou pleasest, and Thou bringest low whom Thou pleasest: In Thy hand is all good. Verily, over all things Thou hast power."
And Quran 2:155 says this: "Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere,"
So it looks like Allah is simply testing the Palestinians. The Palestinians suffer because Allah is testing them. So let's not try and interfere with Allah's plan for Palestine by taking sides, etc. Edit: Then again, if we examine Quran 22:39, it seems that Allah is deliberately choosing not not assist the Palestinians in their struggle. Often Quran verses are more interesting for what they don't say rather than what they do. Quran 22:39 says this:
"To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to fight), because they are wronged;- and verily, Allah is most powerful for their aid;-"
So Allah gives permission for people to fight when their god is unable or unwilling to protect them.
