Anyway the question now is not who is right. The question is how can Israel live with a neighbour who declares that he wants to destroy Israel and fires missiles on a civilian population? All this is after Israel did withdrawal from all of the Gaza strip and didn't leave a single Jew there.
Another question is why the Hamas terrorist fire their missiles from housea and hospitals? Don't they care about the innocent civilians? Does Israel Have to worry about Palestinian lives more than the Palestinians themself care? about?

I think your protagonist would probably say that Hamas (or Hezbollah [etc]) are merely the oppressed, the confused victims of someone else's oppression; one fact of one matter is that shooting people ain't a good thing. Another more important point is, as you say, Israel has made compromises, and, to my mind, doesn't as a nation support the denial of a whole nation, or promise martyrdom to 'freedom fighters' who are killed in battle against a nation that 'doesn't exist'. Again: Israel isn't right always, but it is far more complicated than 'Israel is wrong' (this isn't directed at you Mr Moshe, as I'm sure you've inferred).
