It doesn’t justify but it prolongs it. The so called “resistance” everyone here is encouraged to form and sympathize with, at some point you realize why do I as someone sitting far away have to care so much more when their own leadership and some of their own people in upper echelons are willingly happy to let everything rot including things within their full control?

Suffering is not justified but you can easily throw the argument that Palestinians will be living under the similar rot even if they had one state. I am not making it but at least that’s a plausible argument from the other side and it has a decent chance of happening if someday they gain a country of own.
