Well, I don't think that's true either. "Israel is" is already giving away your biased view of the issue. I think there definitely is a majority among arabic as well as Israeli palestinians who'd prefer to have peace with each other and prosper. Sadly those sane people are betrayed by extremists on both sides who commit crimes while claiming it's for the best of their own population, which is clearly wrong and delayed peace since decades.

If you don't want to accept these "complications", fine. Keep your beliefs about evil occupier nation vs poor oppressed freedom fighters. I don't care.

My point was that there is imo a difference between satire and cynicism.
