Most Americans refuse to see this conflict from the Palestinian point of view

To do so would involve imagining how we would feel if, after being colonized by a foreign power, that power decided to "return" more than half the United States to Native Americans, including all the most productive land and viable cities, and gradually pushed us into smaller and more impoverished enclaves while turning over our homes, farms and cities to settlers.

The settler population, backed by military might and economic power then begins encroaching into the already overcrowded and impoverished "reservations" set aside for us. The control our borders, our right to travel between reserved areas, and if we resist in any way, imprison, kill us and bomb our enclaves at will. Now remember that in this scenario we are only allowed to resent (but not attack) the military forces oppressing us, but we are not to blame the actual settlers now living on our land at all, because they are civilians. Somehow, I can't imagine the average American saying, "Sure, why not?"
