OR, look at it this way...
Palestine had existed for hundreds of years, America turns up after WW2 and says "We'll have this country, thankyou", allows thousands of Jews whose ancestors hadn't lived in the region for 1,800 years to pour in, displacing an entire nation. Who now live in either refugee camps, or in impoverished towns that are constantly under fire from one of the most modern, well-equiped armies in the world.

We have cities, equality, democracy etc - does that give us the right to invade, oh, I don't know, Iraq? Try telling a Palestinian living in Israel they have 'equality'!
