To me it boils down to international law and the Geneva convention, and how they either apply to all or nobody. That is, by the same token terrorism is wrong, Israeli settlers murdering Palestinians and the IDF murdering journalists and bombing civilians under flimsy slogans about "human shields" is wrong. The same international law that makes the settlements illegal confirms Israel's right to exist. Want the settlements? Can't have Israel, not via rights afforded by international law. Want Israel? Can't have the settlements. And so on.
It's a simple matter of having principles rather than group affiliations. "Never again" isn't about Jews, it's about what the Nazis did; the actions and the dehumanizing sophistry to justify them, nothing more, nothing less.
