Correct, the Palestinians are fighting to get their land back which they say belongs to them.
Problem is that history is rather "vague" about this 20,000 SQ KM piece of land as it has been conquered by Arabs and Christians many times.
There is strong support for Israel in the US, however in Europe there seems to be a bit more support for the Palestinians - this can all be explained by looking at history.
A nice definition of Israel:
"An ancient kingdom of Palestine founded by Saul c. 1025 B.C. After 933 it split into the Northern Kingdom, or kingdom of Israel, and the kingdom of Judah to the south. Israel was overthrown by the Assyrians in 721."
I am sure mr. Labret can educate you more on this subject as he seems informed about the history.
