Exactly, and after the 67 war the Israeli's came out as the victors and claimed the land as spoils of war, obviously not an ideal outcome for the Palestinians.
But its ridiculous when people claim its all the other sides fault, and that "their side" are the total innocents, this has been going on so long that both sides are at fault and it'll never be sorted unless both sides are willing to compromise.
Israeli or Palestinian, both sides can go back generations siting atrocities from the other but whats the point? it only deepens age old prejudices.
I'm not saying forget whats happened but there is absolutely no chance of finding peace in the past, both sides have to look to the future.
