 Love the people, hate the crimes on both sides 
 Yes. But I feel like Israelis are more responsible for their government's actions. If they were worried about safety they'd bear arms. 

And I relate to the Palestinians supporting an uprising more.  
 It's my opinion that anything above and beyond my previous comment is believing propaganda. The war is on grounds of whose team owns what land. It's long past an argument of justice or property and neither side is willing to exist while the other breathes. Any empathy within their ranks for the other is met with crimes of treason. The people are forced to chose sides and no side is guiltless. The peoples themselves can't be seen as totally voluntary in their decisions or actions as they are programmed to wage war against a people they see as inferior to them. I wish the shprt answer was to choose the side not funded by the US government, but alas, both sides are.
