It’s gross moral equivocating to compare the two. The famous line that every Israeli knows is “If the Arabs laid down their weapons there would be peace, if the Israelis laid down their weapons they would all be killed.” This has been shown to be true again and again.

Only one side celebrates and encourages people to walk into a building full of random people and blow it up. Only one side handed out candy in the street when one of their own stabbed an entire family to death (including a 3mo baby). You are very wrong to compare the two and it shows either your ignorance or total disregard for human life.

It’s only relevant if you assume Israelis are superior to their neighbors. Why you don’t see the subjectivity of the statement is beyond me. What you’ve got understand is that both parties look kind of barbaric to an outsider.
