Israel is not being exactly fair holding more than 300.000 people hostage in Gaza right? That is one reason why hatred toward Israel is so strong.
As for womens rights, that is damn shame that equality between sexes is still just in theory. Tell You the truth I'd rather see womens rights in "developed" countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait....
I'm for Palestinian state the one which could peacefully coexist with Israel and all it's neighbours.
Israel didn't exactly create this refugee problem. In fact it was the Arabs mostly who drove them out of Israel.
According to Mahmoud Abbas:
"The Arab armies entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians from the Zionist tyranny but, instead, they abandoned them,
forced them to emigrate and to leave their homeland, and threw them into prisons similar to the ghettos in which the Jews used to live in Eastern Europe, as if we were condemned to change places with them: they moved out of their ghettos and we occupied similar ones."

Leaders like Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Said, who declared:
"We will smash the country with our guns and obliterate every place the Jews seek shelter in.
The Arabs should conduct their wives and children to safe areas until the fighting has died down."
In his memoirs, Haled al Azm, the Syrian Prime Minister in 1948/49, also admitted the Arab role in persuading the refugees to leave:
"Since 1948 we have been demanding the return of the refugees to their homes.
But we ourselves are the ones who encouraged them to leave. Only a few months separated our call to them to leave and our appeal to the United Nations to resolve on their return."
According to the Israeli declaration of 1948, Israelis wanted the Arabs to become a part of Israel, not separate.
"WE APPEAL - in the very midst of the onslaught launched against us now for months - to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the upbuilding of the State
on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions."
WE EXTEND our hand to all neighbouring states and their peoples in an offer of peace and good neighbourliness, and appeal to them to establish bonds of cooperation and mutual help with the sovereign Jewish people settled in its own land. The State of Israel is prepared to do its share in a common effort for the advancement of the entire Middle East.
