Does that acceptance right any wrongs? no, but at least it creates the possibility of understanding for future generations.
With that in mind, territories of conflict in Israel and Palestine are, the homelands of both peoples. It is the refusal of both parties to accept this that contributes to this never ending conflict.
Again, both sides are guilty, and I don't think that any argument that doesnt embrace that as a fundamental reality are worth anything but shame.

Huh don't say that too loud, Palestinians really wouldn't agree with you, they were offered almost all of Palestine and instead chose to go to war. Pushing this "both parties" nonsense is where you leave the realm of reality and end up pushing your narrative. One side has been committing suicide attacks and refusing to allow Israel to exist while the other has done everything it can to limit the death of civilians. I guess supporting a democracy, gay rights and womens rights is going out of style with the radical left, they are much more interested in dog whistles and buzzwords.
