I have to talk to pro-Israel people (or at least "both sides are bad" people) all the time and it's very, very hard to explain how no Palestinian goes "crazy" and goes to shoot people for no reason (something I've actually heard). People act confused when war sparks 'for no reason', when there's a whole history book of reasons as for why. The unrelenting and blind support of the US and the West for Israel drowns decades of violence against Palestine, Palestinians have to argue for their own existence, let alone for their political rights. It's a mismatched position seldom seen in modern history, it's textbook colonialism.

The truth is, resolving the Palestinian conflict will end up for justice for not only Palestinians, but I also believe, for Jewish people, and for peace in the world in general. There are many ways that this can be resolved peacefully, this is not utopianism. But there will never, ever, be any solution as long as the US empire blindly (or not so blindly) supports the Israeli colonial project.
