I know I'm not "letter boy," but I'd like to answer this nonetheless.
I think you could make a fine argument that the product Israel has produced entitles
Israelis to Israel.
Even during the country's start, the UNSCOMP resolution, Israelis proved a greater desire to modernize, democratize, and liberalize the Middle East. While Israel tried to win approval to claim a slice of the mandated land, by building infrastructure, sustainable cities in the desert, and industry, Arabs were plotting for war. Tanks began to roll as soon as Israel became Israel.
Both sides have developed a strong nationalistic impulse, but one actually did something about it, IMO.
