"groom the young to strap bombs middrift. Would Israelis do this? "

No, they just force their young men and women to serve in the IDF for 2-3 years and drop the bombs from drones instead.

If someone kicked you out of your home and forced you off your land, then offered you 'food producing hot houses' as a 'goodwill gesture', would you be infinitely thankful for this profound act of altruism?

I think it's really bizarre how a lot of people who attempt to defend the policies of the state of Israel demand that Palestinians show far more restraint and 'peace' and 'graciousness' than they would if the situation was reversed, and if it were them displaced in the Nakba in 1948, or today by settlers in the West Bank.

Yet again, this sort of sentiment completely ignores the root causes of the conflict, and how we got to where we are today.

My moral compass is: I don't side with those making the same sort of arguments made to defend slavery in 1800's in the USA. Abolitionists too were criticized for 'siding' with 'savage' slaves against the 'civilized' institution of plantation slavery. Yet, regardless of whatever violence slaves may have engaged in during uprisings; opposing the institution of slavery was absolutely the right side of history to be on.

History won't be kind to Israel if they continue down this road of military-imposed occupation and apartheid and ethnic cleansing and forced displacement. Besides, this is already alienating them on the world stage and even straining relations with their most important backer: The USA.

Most regimes that have tried this don't last. South Africa apartheid didn't last. Rhodesia didn't last. Slavery and Jim Crow in the USA didn't last, most European colonies that had various systemic oppression against the indigenous inhabitants have been ceded back to the locals or are dysfunctional failed states, etc.
