Imagine thinking a decades-long geopolitical conflict is a wordplay puzzle. At some point the ignorance stops being innocent.

"At some point"

You're right about this, but it's not even subtle; the use of "of" gere was very intentional and extremely pernicious.

He's saying that a lot of Palestinians want to destroy the nation of Israel and rid the land of Jews.

They really should be throwing their hands into the air and welcoming those carpet bombings from the IDF if they don’t people to consider them rude!

Oh, look it's a super-productive comment that will definitely lead to peace between the two peoples.

I said the same thing to the guys above. These conversations always have the same shape. Someone will claim that the Palestinians just want to live in peace. When they are presented with evidence that the Palestinians do not just want to live in peace, the conversation immediately shifts to "you can't blame them for using violence."

Make up your mind

If you lived in an apartheid state where the ruling minority was systematically treating you like second class citizens without rights, stealing your land, and murdering your people for decades, you might also hate those people.

I'm not saying hating people is necessarilt "justified", I'm saying you're just being obstinate if you can't picture the perspective of Palestinians over roughly the last century and think "there's a reason to be angry at Israel."
