Palestine used to be owned by the British, at the time Jewish and Palestinian lived together and there were no problems. After World War II Britain split the country into a Zionist side and a Arab side, the Arabs didn't want this to happen and called the UN out saying it violated the principles of national self-determination in the UN charter which granted people the right to decide their own destiny, which it did.
They decided to do it anyways and the neighboring Arab countries invaded to help the Palestinians reclaim their land, Israel has since fought several wars to keep their land, that is deservedly theirs because their Fairy God Mother that lives in cloud wrote a book and said that it's theirs and they deserve it.
With the support of Western Society they've advanced and have come to rule over the Palestinians and refuse to have a true inclusive Democratic society, they want a Pure Jewish state and it seems like they'll come up with anything to continue to pick off the oppressed Palestinians.
Have you been to Israel? Have you talked with anyone there? Didn't think so. Israel does not purposely fire at civilians.
