You have it wrong and you are so one sided. The analogy is more like this. I came and bought land from you and then you overcharged me, but that's ok. Then I farmed the land and started making a decent living. Then you came with thugs and tried to kill me and mine. So I picked up a gun and defended myself. I also found some wealthy patrons to sell me more guns and to give me better training. So I became more powerful than you. However, not being very smart, you continued to kill my sons and daughters and enrage me. So I started venturing off my land and onto yours to track down the murderers you hired to come after my family. After ransacking your land, I'd pull back to my land. But the fact that I am more powerful than you, just makes you all the more murderous, so you continue to come after me, despite the fact that you are always the one who gets the worst of it. I've told you a hundred times to stop coming after me, so I can live in peace, but you won't leave me alone. Now that is the applicable analogy in Israel and Palestine. The Palestinians hate the Jews so much, they won't stop. The Israelis for their part have become brutal, because of the constant harrassment. Both sides are at fault at this point, but one thing I can never condone is suicide bombing.
