That said, there are tons of Jews living inside the Palestinian territories in settlements across Palestine.

This is also misleading. Arab riots against jews are around long before the foundation of Israel. Holocaust is a message that you need more than money to hang out. You need power. And muslims are power hungry. That's why they're not as advanced as western europe now. They're too busy fighting each other rather than inventing better iPad. No wonder jews don't want to be ruled by them.

An Arab in Israel will earn more in Israel than in Palestine because Israel doesn't give Palestinians a chance to let their economy flourish. Palestinians don't have equal rights to Israel so the idea that Israel isn't discriminatory is just wrong. There are roads that are Israeli only that Palestinians aren't allowed to use, there are areas where Palestinians aren't allowed to live, marriages between an Israeli and a Palestinian aren't even recognized in Israel.
About selling land to each other, I can't just sell the land my house is on here in Canada to another country. That isn't how it happens, I can sell the house and land to another person but the land is still on Canadian ground.

The fact that it's still on Canadian ground is a minor issue. If Israel buy the land and most of the land are bought by jews anyway, hy can't they make the rules, such as rules legalizing prostitution?
That is exactly where the problem is. If you earn money honestly and buy land fairly, you are still ruled by assholes who out of a whim can seize your land. So it has to be done the hard way.
I am actually on the palestinian side when it comes to the private issue of the land. In ideal world, the land should still privately owned by palestinian that can then sell the land at market price to jews or live there if Israel's government allow it, which Israel should do once peace is established.
However, on political issue of the land, I am definitely pro Israel.
Supporting palestinian means agreeing to those who wants to prohibit porn. That's just unthinkable. Another piece of land porn free. You really want that?
Why should we favor a muslim ruled land over a relatively free liberal land in Israel? You think you can watch porn in muslim countries? C'mon. If people want to play tough on others, why should we support them? Anyone opposing porn is the bad guy.

There are clear boundaries that almost everyone in the world (except Israel) feels that Israel and Palestine should follow. The Palestinians are happy with what the world wants, it is the Israelis that constantly refuse and reject negotiations based on those 1967 borders.

The arab has no compunction to break the boundary when they think they have the upper hand. The war is not one sided. The arab eagerly fight too, except Lebanon.
