Great summary. Unfortunately, this has become (or has always been) a proxy war, with Israel as the Jewish Ulster representing Western interests (while taking Western money), and the Palestinians as cannon fodder, to keep up grievances and allow their Arab masters to continue to scapegoat Israel. And a proxy for American Christians to pretend to care about Jews, while hoping this makes their Jesus come back sooner and kill us all. And a proxy for the War on (T)error: Bin Laden cited it as one of his reasons, and the "clash of civilizations" propaganda pumped out during the 2000s saw Israel as a guide for "how to deal with Muslims." Now it's a proxy for "colonial" vs "anti-colonial" forces, schizmogenetically projecting their identitarian politics onto the latest cycle of violence.
And any attempt at saying anything more than "hope for peace" gets you jumped on and accused of being a Zionist shill or an anti-semite (sometimes both in the same conversation).
