Simplistic oppressor vs opressed narratives are simplistic. Yes, the palestinians have been oppressed for almost a century at this point. No, I dont blame them for fighting back. I dont blame the Israelis for defending their home either though. The reality is that both sides have committed grave atrocities here and any narrative that tries to place the blame squarely on one side is glossing over a huge amount of historical context. The Israelis have every reason to continue to be worried about palestinian terrorism. A one state solution would involve them losing control of the government. Maybe the palestinians that would make up the majority would be nice to the Israelis, but I really really doubt that based on the way theyve treated the israelis over the past century. They certainly would attempt to institute sharia law which is probably enough of a reason for Israelis to reject a one state solution.
