Good question. Yes they are. However, Israel and the U.S on purpose held Palestinian land in a limbo state economically to deprive it of the ability to engage economically and politically witg the world. This puts the people there unable to discharge their international and domestic responsibilities. This causes economic shocks and societal problems. The problem here is, Israel did this on purpose and the outcome was knowable. It's the same thing as Bibi supporting Hamas to destabilise their politics.

If you put people under blockade and stifle their economic activity they'll revolt. This macro truth must have its place in the accounting of this situation.

The reason I used the Jewish Roman revolt as an example is because it fits, it demonstrates that when a people need to defend themselves but lack a military, they'll form citizen militias and use mercenaries etc. The Arabs in the area, and Iran are using proxies, citizens etc because that's all they can do against a U.S backed Israel. When the Jews were in the same position they did THE SAME FUCKING THING. As do lots of peoples in these situations.

Lastly, remember, nothing happens in a vacuum. The middle east got fucked sideways but western powers after ww1 and the redrawing of maps was very problematic. Then the push to control their resources, overthrowing governments, invasions, sponsoring terrorism, deliberately creating power vacuums to exploit etc. The Arabs and Persians aren't retarded, they're not stupid. They know precisely what's going on.
