Why is it so difficult to understand?

Dear Dr Pipes, You reader, Nchwiechui Sule, from UK reminded us that "terrorism will continue as long as Israel continues to occupy the Palestinian land." I will never understand people's ability to apply same different set of rules to different people.

I contend that Israel has --at least-- as much right on the land that it exits on as the Islamic occupants have on various so called Islamic lands. More violent wars were declared by Muslims, for example, to occupy Contantinople than by Jews to occupy Jerusalem. Am I missing something here?
