65 years!? Many, many different groups have been scrapping over that patch of sand for thousands of years!
Jericho and the Canaanites (basically Palestinians)
Samson and the Philestines (basically Palestinians) - who also lost a beloved temple, by the way.
etc, etc.
I guess all is fair in no love and war, though it might be politic to lay off the chosen people/master race rhetoric.
The soldier vs. 'innocent' civilian rhetoric is also disingenuous. All citizens* benefit from the society they prosper in, unless they actively oppose it.
Civilians are just the ones with cushy jobs that let others do the dirty work and take the brunt (usually).
*And remember, Palestinians are only, at best, second-class citizens in Israel. If they were given full citizenship the Jews wouldn't have a majority to run the country as an ethnic-religious apartheid state.
