11. I justify it very easily

Israel took what was offered to them in 1948 - ever since then the Palestinians and their pals in the neighboring countries have tried to destroy Israel several times. Each time, they lost. You don't get to continually start wars, lose them and then expect to get back what was offered in the past. The losers don't get to negotiate terms and continual do-overs are ridiculous and Israel is under zero obligations to keep turning their other cheek. The Palestinians fucked up - over and over and over again. I see no reason to reward that.
