Many of those Palestinians don't want to let Israel "chill" to enjoy the fruits of that violent theft.
Yes. They started multiple wars of aggression and got their ass kicked every time. I'm sure there are many Germans who'd like their land in East Prussia back. I'm sure some would like the city of Danzig back. Actions have consequences.

Why do you suppose "viewing them as equally culpable actors" is my or anyone's goal?
Because I read your posts.
Quote:Why should not social-scientific analysis aimed at determining causes and effects, for basis of sound policy and solutions, be the goal?
If that was your goal this would be an amazingly different thread. Just within the last few post you posited a false narrative on the Oslo Accords. You're not interested in a fair discussion on this issue, and you never have been. Your disdain for Israel oozes from every post, not just in this thread, but every thread on the subject over the years. Literally a month before Hamas started the current war we had yet another, similar, back and forth on this topic.
You're not the objective sage you believe yourself to be and no one thinks you are outside of your sycophantic, never disagree with each other on a single topic, circle.
