I am hand waving a lot here

That aside: for what it’s worth, thank you for adding additional context. More people need to understand more details and historical background of the situation. The vast majority of people who seem to have strong opinions on the matter appear to have a shaky understanding of the historical context at best.

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you, just adding. I just think it would be disingenuous to downplay the role of extreme right wing zionism and terrorism in the creation of the current conflict. Certainly historical British colonialism and current USA imperialism enables and makes it all worse. But both leaders of Israel and other Arab states aren't scot-free victims here. The only constant losers in this conflict are civilians at the mercy of warmongers in positions of power throughout all of history.
