Roosevelt did not tell Churchill to "bugger off," when he asked for help, either. And is Israel just supposed to sit there, and let terrorists lob mortars and rockets at them, and do nothing about it?

The conflict is real, but "illegally occupied" may not quite be the truth. I only suggest you read reliable historical texts (meaning not Wikipedia or media reports of the last 40 years) to find out what has really been happening for the last few centuries.
