.......authority to pursue a campaign of terror, killing women and children and non-combatants, with an aim of eliminating the other side from "their land" and achieving a pure homeland for their own, should be recognized by all for what it is.

What would you call it?
What side am I talking about?

1. Both actually

4. Yep, that was my point.

5. It's a weak point.

There are 2.5 million non-Jews living in Israel, with full rights under the law. By contrast there are no Jews living in Palestine, nor will their ever be, because they want a Muslim only state but will tolerate a few Christians, pretty much like every other Muslim country in the Middle East.

Muslims seem a little obsessed about "purity", the Jews not so much.

eta - I forgot about the Hebron Jews, who need constant protection from their Palestinian neighbors because, well we kow what would happen without protection....

Israelis are NOT in pursuit of a “pure state”. They’re in pursuit of their hostages (and those of many other nations) and security, which they will never have as long as Hamas exists.

Do you think any other country that suffered a mass terror attack would allow other nations to tell them how to respond? Or that they couldn’t respond? Of course not. Yet the world is fine with doing that to Israel while also expecting them to supply food and water to their attackers. It’s absurd, simpleminded thinking…
