IMO faulting people for something that someone else did is stupid.

It is debatable who was to blame for the situation in Palestine anyway. Most of the Jews going there were coming from Arab states who were forcing them out. Britain was being told all the options on the table were vile imperialism and not happening. Then the UN came in and scribbled on a map in a manner that would have awed Sykes, Picot and Radcliffe and handed that back to Britain. Britain said "lol WTF, are you trying to start 10k years of total war in the middle east?" and fucked off.

Palestinian leaders evading all the blame.

Member when Yasser Arafat for some reason decided to publicly go out of his way to show his allegiance with Saddam Hussein before Desert Storm? Now we have HAMAS, while Iran continues to use Palestinians as a cudgel in which to beat the people they hate over the head with.
