This is such a bad faith argument. We’re not talking about historical geopolitics, we’re talking about people recently being kicked out of their land and cornered onto an increasingly smaller chunk of land. I mean there are Israeli settlers living in homes whose owners are Palestinian and still around.
Violence is tragic, but if you literally keep backing people into a corner, some of them are going to get pissed off and stop caring if they die or not because their life doesn’t seem like it can get any worse anyway.
There is also a huge asymmetry in coverage for violent events in the region. I was reading a book sometime back that was a collection of interviews with Israeli and Palestinian writers, and they were almost physically unable to get into the west bank to interview people because of Israeli border controls worried someone might say something positive about Palestine. I also know people who did humanitarian trips into Gaza and the west bank, and literally they couldn’t even have anything with the Palestinian flag on them or they would get subjected to all sorts of searches and screenings.
This is hardly a humane way to treat people. Military conquest isn’t how modern countries make claims on land in the 21st century.
