This is the root of the whole problem - both sides have easy recourse to unthinking violence, and populations/supporters that accept this as justifiable.

However, I believe dilute your point with your last edit: those of us who support the 'Palestinian cause' are not automatically supporters of terrorism nor adopt blind spots when idiots murder innocents. I for one, have always maintained that a viable Palestinian state will be much more likely if the militants abandoned the armed struggle and took up non-violent protest.

It is possible to support the establishment of a Palestinian state without endorsing terror, just as it is possible to support Israel's right to exist without endorsing indiscriminate violence against non-combatants.
Wisdom, once again.

Ultimately the answer is that both groups are exactly the same. In fact I bet the Palastiniancs are just the Isrealis that never left and got converted to Islam or Christianity.

If they were just two people I'd bang their heads together. I really don't see an actual solution that will work, though.
