Several thousand years ago, Esau sold his brother Jacob, his birthright for a plate of lentil stew. Ever since that exchange, Arabs, the descendants of Esau, have been trying to regain the birthright. They think if they kill all the descendants of Jacob (Jews) They will get the birthright back, by default. It ain't gonna happen!!!
IOW, the middle east conflict, like the feud between the Hatfields and McCoys, is a generations old blood feud. Neither side really remembers what the conflict is about, but, at least one side feels they are right to carry it on.
The US simply got into the middle of a family argument, which the family doesn't want resolved.

The root cause of this is that Israel (inclusive of Palestine) was together as British Mandate of Palestine before freedom. When they got freedom they got freedom as that same unit. They should have been divided and then broken up.

Before the creation of modern Israel, the people of jewish belief had spread already over many parts of the world. Reasons for that? There must have been better living conditions elsewhere. Unfortunately, a large majority of them did not integrate with the people of host countries. Why? Because of cultural and religion differences. Emigrating and not integrating where one goes is pure stupidity. How can it be expected that people bred in the host country over generations would like to be transformed through another cultural society because another religious/ cultural group arrives and chooses to live there? The creation of modern Israel was a poorly thought out idea. The active forces behind the execution of the idea were Zionists and the Britisch. This is not an exceptional example of british international politics where the follow-up that was needed had been neglected.

Yes, it should have been divided as per the wishes of the people of the areas of conflict.
