The thing is that both the Israelis and the Palestinians had the same father ......literally.
Israel itself is used as a kind of Jewish finishing school. It is considered a duty - particularly by Orthodox Jews to send their children for a year's stint on a Kibbutz. I have met Sabra ....who detest this practice and do not consider themselves to be "cut from the same cloth"...... as the wealthy Jews who do this.
So there are divisions of thought among the Jewish people as well. The Jewish politician - who's name escapes me - who was assassinated fairly recently was considered too moderate! These people are fuelled by donations from Zionists all over the world who don't actually have to live with the situation.
So very sad for all those caught in the cross-fire. There were figures released recently; Israel had lost 3 civilians - The Palestinians - 380........ Why did the USA decline to vote in the recent UN security vote for condemnation?....Shabott Shalom?
