Mom would say that things are happening exactly as they should be, according to the prophecies in the bible. She would tell you that Israel is God's chosen land, and the Jews his chosen people. That is why they have been persecuted throughout history, because Satan is trying to wipe them from the earth. She would tell you that there is no way Israel will ever be broken up, because of these reasons, and that it is Palestine and the rest of the world who will pay for the way they treat the Jews.
I don't really have a grasp of it either, because I don't believe the prophecies... so I tend to turn the conversation in another direction when it comes up.
I am nearly positive that my Mom would be happy to talk with you about all of this over the phone sometime, if you were interested in learning/hearing more.
There are a lot of articles if you google "israel chosen land"
