Israel - can you explain it objectively.?

It's very complicated. It was the historical homeland of the Jews. Jews were expelled from Jerusalem after they revolted against the Romans. But there were always Jews and Arabs in Palestine, which was not a country, but a region controlled by other powers. For the last few hundred years, it was controlled by the Ottoman or Turkish Empire. Then when the allies won World War I, they got it as a league of nations mandate, with an agreement that it would be the site of a homeland for the Jews, without prejudicing the right of existing inhabitants. Meanwhile, many Jews, most of them refugees from pogroms in Europe, were immigrating legally and buying land. When World War II came along, the Arabs convinced the British to put a quota on Jewish immigration. Tens of thousands of Jews died at Hitler's hands as a result. Others managed to immigrate illegally. Finally, the British gave the region to the UN, and in 1948 the UN voted overwhelmingly to divide Palestine into two countries, one for the Jewish inhabitants, one for the Arab inhabitants. The Arabs were opposed to the idea of a Jewish homeland, so the surrounding Arab countries invaded, and despite an overwhelming advantage in men and equipment they lost. That's when many Palestinian Arabs and Jews left or were forced out of their homes, and equal number, actually, though the Arabs kept calling theirs "refugees" for political reasons. Then in 1967, the Arabs, led by Egypt, started another war to destroy Israel. They lost that one two, and with it Gaza and the West Bank. Israel made peace with Egypt and Jordan, which had controlled those places, but the Palestinians refused to make peace. Which is essentially where things now stand. Israel unilaterally ended the occupation of Gaza three years ago, but Hamas took over and has fired something like 6000 rockets at Israel, which is why they had to invade. Hamas is a terrorist organization that doesn't recognize Israel's right to exist. By way of contrast, Fatah, which controls the West Bank, respects the agreements it signed with Israel and was on the way to signing a peace agreement when this war broke out. Even if they sign the agreement, it's not quite clear what this will mean, since the Palestinians can't even get along with themselves at this point.
