Yeah, not many people are taking that step.
I tend to think of it this way, personally: stealing is wrong, but it’s more acceptable to steal when you’re poor than when you’re rich. Both sides are committing attrocities, but one does so to opress while the other to liberate themselves from opression. I will acknowledge that my understanding of the conflict is very limited though, so this might be oversimplified or outright incorrect.
