Man, you really need a history lesson!
Israel did not take any land from the Palestinians. The land were Israel is now located was once a part of the British ruled Ottoman empire and was given to them by the British as a homeland after WWII. This included land on both sides of the river.
Because the Arabs got their nickers in a twist over this, eventually Israel gave up over half of its territory in exchange for peace. Obviously the Arab world has not been inclined to honor those agreements and appears to not want to settle for anything less than the total destruction of Israel.
You also need to understand that the concept of the Palestinian people is a fairly recent one. It was not until long after the establishment of Israel that someone had the bright idea of banding together a bunch of until then disassociated tribes in the region and putting the label Palestinian on them to give the impression that they were some sort of downtrodden nationality and then use modern terrorism as a tool to call international media attention to their cause.
Is Israel always right? - No.
Does Israel have a right to exist? - Yes.
Does Israel have a right to defend itself when foreign interests sworn to their destruction commit an act of war by abducting their solders? - Yes.

Israel is not always right! The facts are the Jews control the US government! What I have never been able to understand is why the US which claims to be Christian based hates Muslims? Why do Christians hate Muslims at all is beyond me! The Jews have never excepted Jesus. They don't accept his birth or his message. Why do Christians always support Jews? Money! Power! That is why. The US gave arms to Israel and the power over the Muslims. Why is a small amount of Jews have power over a population of Muslims who out number the Jews many times? Because the US supports Jews! Financially and Military! Israel wants the Muslims to be disarmed but there is no way they are willing to give up their arms. Is that justified? No!

What a stupid statement you are making.
1. There is no Palestinian people. There never was a State of Palestine. This is one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated in the 20th century. The land that was called Palestine was a backwater of the Turkish empire for over 400 years until World War I. It was a poor, dry, disease and fly-ridden country farmed by Arab peasants for absentee landlords who lived in Syria and Lebanon. Jews started immigrating to the area in the late 1800's to escape the anti-Semitic regimes of Europe and Russia. The land that Jews acquired was bought, not stolen, obtained legaly from the absentee landlords who cared little for their tenants, only for their profits.
2. The Palestinian Arabs have been misled by their leaders, starting from the time when they were told to get out of the country to make way for the invading Arab armies starting in 1948. After losing the war to the State of Israel, the Arabs continued to languish in UN refugee camps in the Judea/Samaria and Gaza, pawns of the Arab goverments of Egypt, Jordan and Syria, who were the real culprits in ther misery.
3. Arab extremists today want nothing less than the destruction or dissolution of the State of Israel. I don't think that is going to happen, do you? Let's be realistic.
The Palestinians have been offered many chances to make peace, create a homeland in the West Bank and Gaza, and join the nations of the world. Instead, they continue in their paths of extremism and terror. Blame the extremists of Hamas, the PLO, and the rest of the alphabet soup of Palestinian organizations for creating the current situation.
So much more could be accomplished in the region if the rest of the Arabs would finally just let go, as Egypt and Jordan have, of the riduculous notion that Israel is going to cease to exist. Instead, the extremists launch attacks at civilian targets, launch rockets and missles, kidnap soldiers and citizens and often kill them...and then they wonder why Israel fights back. Something is wrong with that picture.
So, is Israel always right? Not always, but considering that they are in a state of nearly continuous war with the extremists, they try their best.
The notion that Israel controls the US is another example of extremist thinking, but no surprise. I realize the frustration of the Palestinians at their situation, but the way to solve it is by pursuing peace, not following the extremists whose only solution is to continue the confrontation with Israel. Even after pulling out of Gaza, pulling our of Lebanon, and making determined efforts to seek an agreement with the Palestinian Authority, the hotheads of Gaza and the Judea/Samaria think the only answer is "resistance" and confrontation. Because this policy has made some incremental gains, such as Israel's unilateral withdrawls in the north and in Gaza, the hotheads think continued fighting will result in the Israelis picking themselves up and walking into the sea to drown themselves. I don't think so!
Instead of dreams of war, revenge, martrydom, murder, kidnapping, try dreams of peace, prosperity, and well-being. Then take the steps to realize those dreams. It will accomplish far more than the path the Palestinans are on now.

No Israel doesn't control the U.S. A. Many years ago Israel got kicked out of Palestine, they recently, after ww2 reclaimed what was theirs. I think I can guess by your name that you probably aren't interested in anything but the Israel/Palestinian issue, but listen to the following, please. If you lived somewhere and were pushed up to a thin strip of land and had about 90,000,000 people that hated you surrounding you and they told you you have no right to exist would you invite them over for tea? I don't think so. In the middle east, Israel is outnumbered by millions of people, America is mostly for the underdog, Arabs are the overdogs. I don't believe that precious little Arab children should be hurt by all this. BUT people who say they want to get rid of Israel are dropping bombs on their own children, and they should compromise.

I never said they were always right...The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a part of the greater Arab-Israeli conflict, is an ongoing conflict between the State of Israel and Palestinian Arabs.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a simple two-sided conflict with all Israelis (or even all Israeli Jews) sharing one point of view and all Palestinians another. In both communities, some individuals and groups advocate total territorial removal of the other community, some advocate a two-state solution, and some advocate a binational solution of a single secular state encompassing present-day Israel, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.

Israel is really not always right.
Sometimes they are wrong and sometimes even losing the war because of this, so you can not argue that Israel is always right.
Not to mention that Israel has the right to live on her land. It does not matter right now whether they live alone or not, but it's its right to exist.
One can refer to history in two ways:
1. Land inherited from father to son (like in the Game of Throneswhen they transfer the Iron Throne from father to son)
2. Land given to the winners, after the victory in battle
In terms of the first argument, the Jewish people lived in Israel for thousands of years. You can not argue with that. It is written in the Bible and all religions realize that they were established only after the Jewish religion. And therefore the Jewish people have title to the land called Israel.
In terms of the second argument, if wars are the only factor that affects - then yes, Israel had won its wars since it was established and now owns the land.
lets be real and ignore both of these arguments and try to find another solution to what is happening there:
So the first thing we should do is to stop the incitement that people agitators, which creates fights between nations.
We need to stop the strange questions that people like you are asking here.
It is clear that Israel is not always right
Everyone is wrong sometimes
Everyone admits his mistakes, and often pays for them
So enough to ask "innocence" questions- they only exacerbate the situation

Because Zionists and pro Israelis control more than 90% of the world economy and media and they influence others and direct them to their strategic goals and objectives

No one is "Always" right. I should ask why the Palestinians insist on sending suicide bombers and rockets into Israel.
