There's much to be said for the Palestinian side,

The Israelis are indeed operating a policy of apartheid on occupied land, and they are indeed coercing and intimidating Palestinians in order to settle on their ancestral villages and farms. Even many Israelis see this, and bravely fight against the brutality and barbarity of their own government. And of course, cheap and docile Palestinian labor is crucial to the Israeli economy.

But the Palestinian resistance does not restrict its military actions to attacking the Israeli military and constabulary, or even purely economic targets. They blow up pizza parlors and beauty salons, attack rock concerts and murder indiscriminately in a campaign of deliberate terrorism that relies on intimidation and humiliation and rape of their enemies. If the Israelis are becoming fascists, then the Palestinians are medieval savages.

They take hostages, coerce their own people, crush their moderate factions brutally, and place their military installations deliberately in places where Israeli countermeasures will result in the slaughter of innocents, which they then use for political propaganda. And they bombard Israeli civilian targets with crude missiles too inaccurate to be used against hardened and dispersed military sites, and they launch from places where the Israeli counterbattery is most likely to kill innocent civilians.

Meanwhile, both sides are supplied and encouraged by Cold War sponsors to carry out their own geopolitical goals.

And in the USA, the partisans of both sides seem unable to see the atrocities carried out by their friends, and only those done by their enemies. I say, a plague on both their houses.
