Palestinians didn't steal the lands, if anything Isreal is now forcing them out of their homes from internationally recognized occupied lands. and it's funny how you mention it as Israel's "attempt" and Palestine's "terrorism" for resisting. As for the next comment, I quote Avi Shlaim: “Netanyahu is like a man who, while negotiating the division of a pizza, continues to eat it” You cannot grab land and settle in them and blame the other party for fighting back.
