Let's be real: The Israeli state was founded on terror (for example the Zionist Haganah terrorist group). It is now an openly brutal, racist, apartheid state armed to the teeth by the West, and has nuclear capability. And do not confound Jewishness with Zionism. Being critical of the Zionist state is not being critical of Jews.
Let's be real one-sided, you mean? You're entitled to do and be that, friend.
Here are some other real things: Palestinian nationalism is founded on terror (for example the PLO, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, etc. etc.). Palestinian leaders are corrupt, violent, and uncaring toward their own people, often using civilians as human shields while indiscriminately bombarding Jewish civilian population centers with no regard for loss of life on either side. They are armed with increasingly sophisticated weapons by Iran, which is working diligently on nuclear capability.
If you want to have a sober, intellectually honest conversation about this extraordinarily complex issue, reread this and James's other entries about the Arab-Israeli conflict, then we can talk.
