There's a war going on you know...

What if you got your house/yard a few years earlier by invading your neighbour's house and kicking him out. (In other words, stealing it). You may very well feel you need to use force to defend 'your' house/yard, but don't expect me to feel sorry for you.

In 1947 the land of Palestine was mandated by the UN to become two states. The Arab states of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq rejected this mandate and invaded the new state of Israel by launching a war which they promptly lost.
So did the Israeli's really 'steal' this land ? From the Israeli perpective they fought a war against overwhelming odds to protect a homeland in their ancestrial land as mandated by the UN.

I don't support either side I just realise that you need to be able to see both sides for their to be a solution.
