Absolutely disproportionate. A single Palestinian is killed in gunbattles with Israel and it's front page news on the BBC. Hundreds of Darfuris die on the same day and we don't even get a mention of it.
In my opinion the political situation in the Middle East is best understood as a conflict between the radical Shi'a-alligned countries (Iran and Syria, with proxies in Lebanon and Gaza) against the Saudi-Egyptian led Sunni bloc. Israel has been marginalised in many ways. The conflict with the Palestinians is a piece crucial to understanding the puzzle, no doubt, in that it hinders the Arab states' ability to opently deal with Israel -- but that is all. Israeli military power, though still great, cannot be effectively utilised against Iran in any hypothetical full-scale war due to the great distance between the two.
Israel has been reduced to essentially dealing with the proxies of the radical Shi'i axis; it just isn't as important a player as it used to be in the region. You don't get this message in the media at all, in my opinion.
How many inter-Arab wars have broken out in the last, idk, 20 years that weren't caused by Israel?
Well you have the Lebanese civil war which ended in the late 80s, you have the current internal conflict in Lebanon which is a proxy war in a greater conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran, you have the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and subsequent Arab coalition which defeated Iraq, you have the recent conflict between Palestinian Islamists in the refugee camps (Fatah al-Islam) and the Lebanese army, you have the recent subversive activities of Iran in Egypt (Hezbollah agents, calling for the overthrow of the regime...)
Point is, there's still plenty.
We don't say it is. We say that Israel is a bug though, and that the Mid East would be better off without the Jews.
Regardless of your approval, they do have a national right to self determination.
