I came away from the article with one other thought in mind. There is a Palestinian State. Why are people trying to create one?

And as much as I support Israel, it's rather hard to blame the Palestinians entirely for their hardship. A lot of the deaths there, at least in the past, have been because of Israeli attacks and assasinations, both botched, succesful and somewhere in between. Israeli politics and lack of care in military operations have allowed organizations like Fatah and Hamas to reach the top in Palestine and take control of it.

What does this really mean? That no matter what, it's Israel's fault? Because that's the meaning I take away from this paragraph. I'm quite sure that some of the instances that are listed in the article can be verified throuh a Google search. Are we going to find that it was actually Israel's troops that did the deeds? Is it Israel's fault that the factions each try to gain dominance over the other?
What I see, from the article, is that you have a group of people that are so worried about who's in charge, they spend all their time fighting for control, and none of their time trying to fix some of the social/economic problems they now have. They wanted to be an independant state, and now they are, and what do they do with it? Try to wipe eachother out.
