Maybe the extremists are ruining everything as usual. One can live in Israel without being a militant or lacking compassion for the local Arabs. One doesn't have to drink the kool aid and buy into the we are right and they are wrong club.
There was room for the Jews and the UN did make a partition. And the nearby countries did attack. If you are a sovereign state can you keep land taken in self-defense. Destroying 400 Arab villages is wrong but that was a choice some of the Haganah made. Doesn't eradicate living in the land.
Today certainly we are out of control. But '67, Nassar who had attacked before did move troops in. Maybe he didn't mean it but can you take the chance with someone who has attacked you?
Question now may be simply, what to do with 2 million people? And certainly the apartheid has to stop and the torture and killing and overreacting. But I don't have to buy into that to live in the land.
