CMV: Palestine does not have any moral high ground in the Israel conflict, and cannot reasonably be considered “unjustly occupied”.

I’m not a zionist by any means, and I’m fond of a real 2-state solution. However, I find the idea that Israel is somehow in the wrong to be sort of ridiculous: have they not been under constant attack and threat from their Arab neighbors, supported by the Palestinians? Should they just defend their land without annexing anything as punishment, giving the Arabs no real incentive not to invade again? Why should the Hamas regime be given any recognition or justification at all? I also deny the idea of Israel being unjustified in existence at all due to it being a “settler state”: This very hostility against it coming from a vast majority of Arab governments proves the need for its existence, as they seem to not wish for the Jews to exist *anywhere*.   
Anyways, change my view.

The two premises are not incompatible. Even if you accept that Palestine doesn't have the moral high ground, which is a dubious premise to begin with, that doesn't mean they aren't unjustly occupied. A convicted criminal can still be unjustly imprisoned, for instance, if they are sent to the wrong prison, for the wrong amount of time, arbitrarily denied parole, etc.

> Should they just defend their land without annexing anything as punishment

Annexing land as a punishment is, by definition, unjust occupation. Punishment is not an internationally recognized legal justification for occupying another country or people's lands. Legally justifiable acquisitions of sovereignty over territory include accretion, cession,  effective occupation (this applies to previously unoccupied lands only, so it doesn't apply to Palestine), and prescription. Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands meets none of these criteria. Therefore, it is clearly an unjust occupation regardless of whether or not the Palestinians themselves hold the moral low ground.

> Why should the Hamas regime be given any recognition or justification at all?

Why should any democratically elected government be given any recognition or justification at all? Also, Fatah is the primary political party representing the Palestinian people, not Hamas.
