It's not okay to do the same to the Palestinians though.
My point is that every culture has extremists... The average Israeli just wants to live his/her life.

The settlements are the whole problem, they arent a money grab they are an act of provocation on purpose to keep this going, Hamas responds because if they dont they will be overthrown by a more extreme group as the PLO were.
Stop the settlements and 80% of this is over, the last 20% will take more time and is more complex but the first 80% is the only way this starts and the reality is those in charge in Israel dont want this to stop
