This is a fallacy. In the world of cause and effect, Jewishness is not the raison d'etre for Palestinian woes, but now it has become a defacto face of it, much as uninformed pundits see Muslim-ness as the source of their own woes.
In reality there has only ever been a demographic crisis in Palestine/Israel, and it has had more to do with the influx of Europeans than religious hatred, although the latter makes great copy.

I never met a muslim who wanted to kill me because I was Jewish, but I met a lot who think of the Jews in the same way as people here view Muslims, a catch all concept to describe their fears and anxieties. It's the human way, to have boxes for things, but reality, people to people it's so much bs. I never met anybody so accommodating as Muslims in their own homes.

I agree that Israel deserves to exist, how could I not? But it's delusion to pretend the conflict is about anything more at its base level than a land war. One side has been pushed out and continues to be pushed out, the other has itself been pushed from place to place. It's that easy. It's sad that both sides are from the same race of peoples.
