The right wing in Israel is lost in a genocidal fever dream.

Indeed, and they blame Hamas, which the word disproportionate doesn't even cover what they are doing in Gaza. But in the West Bank, there is no Hamas, and the violence is constant from the settler terrorists and the IDF itself.

From just a few days ago, three settlers entered an old man's piece of land with their guns, the man tried to stop them, and they ended up shooting his leg. The IDF came and they settlers left freely, but the old man's son was the one detained. The old man lost his leg. 

Also the assassination of I think it was the cameraman of the documentary, No other land, that won the Oscar. I didn't find any good video, but here is one that show the the shooter and the victim. 

These are just two recent examples of what the Palestinians are dealing with. There's no Israel defending itself, there's Israel constantly attacking to steal the land from the indigenous inhabitants as the final objective, Gaza and the West Bank, with different tactics.

@Hatfort Defensive Shield operation Israel did in the West Bank started in March 2002 after 2 years of almost daily terror attacks and suicide bombing inside Israeli cities, during which IDF has fought terror groups of the PLO and hamas. Up until this day hamas and other terror groups in the West Bank try to gain power, what IDF in a co-operation with the Palestinians authority fight every day to prevent. This continues for 23 years.

It is easy to say that everything that happens there is an "oppression" but in reality the dynamics is more complicated and involves both security, restrictions and yes also corruption and an abuse of power by soldiers and settlers what lead all together to an oppressive dynamics.

The solution to this loop is to seperate between Israelis and Palestinians, put a strong and secure border in the middle and not to point fingers on one side or another showing why it is the 'greatest evil' and the other side innocent and good.
