> An ordinary Israeli citizen is born in that land, knows nothing else,

They know perfectly well that their settlers are conducting daily pogroms against Palestinian villages in the West Bank, protected by their own army. They know perfectly well that thousands of Palestinians are detained for years without due process, trialled by military courts, kept in a state of apartheid.

They just don't care.

I think they meant, they are born into the situation and don't have an outsiders perspective, not that they are ignorant of what's happening

The situation is not static. The oppression of the Palestinians is active, progressive, and happens every day. This is not a state you're born in, but it is something you actively participate in or decide to ignore. Those who say "this is just the situation now" are disingenuous, as new crimes by one side against the other are perpetrated every day.

I agree. Dwelling on the past is pointless. All of this is new.
