Thanks for engaging but frankly this reads like talking points without a good understanding of what's been happening in this region lately.
I don't think your opinions are justified on reviewing the evidence. I think you've already staked out an ideologically motivated position to take and are now cherry picking "facts" to support that position.
Again, any rational assessment of the behaviour between both sides of this conflict of the last five years would certainly not unilaterally support Israeli policy and would most likely conclude that the Israeli government is the first problem with the escalating violence.
