It seems hardly fair to denounce one side of the scale as unbalanced as people lean on its other side.
The fact is that on this topic the propaganda with all its disinformation and misinformation is persistent, pervasive in media, and potent. You can start to see it for yourself — simply take a shallow dive into the history of this subject and you will immediately notice the degree of the active distortion of all discourses on this topic in the modern media.
It won’t take you a weekend to read any one of the below books on this topic. After which you will start to notice how the journalists and the op-ed authors leave out highly relevant details regarding the origins of the problems in order to — time and time again - blame the Palestinians for their plight and ultimately frame them as responsible for their suffering.
It’s not the Zionists that steal Palestinian land and demolish/steal existing houses to build new settlements it’s the Palestinians that didn’t accept a supposedly “fair peace deal” while nobody mentions that said deal requires giving up the right of return of millions of refugees displaced in 1948. It’s not the F16 pilot that bombed the residential compound filled with civilians it’s the civilians that voted a decade ago for Hamas. And on and on.
Read a short book and start to see for yourself.
1. The Hundred Years War on Palestine - Khalidi (Palestinian Arab author)
2. The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine - Pappe (Israeli Jewish author)

They just want a land where Arabs won't obliterate them, and yes, Gazans came from Arab countries. Infact Arabs have gone to war with Israel many times, so when you see the 10,000 foot view, its very different to just to 1000 foot view focusing on "Palestine"
