I think part of the challenge is ours, in that we break up the corporate media that funnels CRAP to us about what is happening there, and which wouldn't cover things if Israel were using our weaponry, etc. to subjugate Palestinian slaves with no resistance.
If we can demand a more competitive media landscape where the voices of all sides could be heard more fairly, and we could hear more from Israeli dissenters of Netanyahu, and give more voice to peaceful protests by Palestinians, then there might be more incentive for more Israelis to join their dissenters, and more Palestinians to join in a more "Gandhi"-like resistance, and perhaps we could start bringing down our military industrial complex so that it doesn't contribute to the 1%er elites control of our country and through it a large part of the world. Until we achieve that, we'll have to see that the lack of that kind of media landscape is what contributes to the violence in this area as it is what brings in attention to both sides and the bucks that the corporate media and the military establishment wants for themselves.
