One thing is Jewish people and other completely different is the State of Israel, as well as a grandfather can be a very honest person and the grandson a delinquent, and v.v. As for 'the terrorist'; it is a word who indicates a delinquent if he loses and a hero if he wins. Terrorist is whoever fights against me. Terrorist where called in their era and by the occupant, of course, the americans who opposed with weapons to the presence of Spanish power in America, now they are heroes; the Spaniards who opposed to the presence of Napoleon in Spain, now they are heroes ; the Jews who opposed to the presence of British power in Palestine, now they are heroes. the French who opposed to presence of German troops in France; now they are heroes. the Russians who fighted in civil dress against occupier; etc, etc.
Jews used to live and at the time lived in the area that became Israel. There was once a Jewish civilisation there. So saying "Why not give them land in Europe or America" doesn't really work. Also Israel is a very small piece of land with very few natural resources, (no oil etc.)

The Arabs don't really care about the land itself, what they care about is Jews living in there region. It's not because of what Israel is doing in the Gaza Strip or West Bank, or what it is doing in Lebannon now. All they care about is that they are Jews and in "their region", and they want them out. As soon as the State of Israel was declared the Arab countries invaded.
