4. Aren't the occupied people also allowed to launch a resistance
to that occupation?

The picture you paint, as it stands today, is that Israel occupies the land. They arrest, detain, kill and otherwise rule the territory as they see fit. But when the other side resists, they are arrested and charged with crimes Israel deems they committed. But what recourse do Palestinians have when Israel commits crimes on its land? None. Because Israel calls all the shots. And I'd say there are more than enough cases of misconduct on Israel's side to warrant having their power to be taken away. Except the Palestinians aren't in the position to do it, and the world doesn't really care enough to step in.

As I said, there is no winning for the Palestinians. They must do exactly what Israel stipulates, or else.
