but you prefer settler youths throwing firebombs at innocents. strapping bombs unto ones body is not PC.

That would be a fair argument if Palestine was ever actually an established country before 1988. It was a under British control until 1948 when it was partitioned to make room for the displaced post WWII Israelite people.
So let's revisit your analogy with that in mind.
There is a house that people are squatting, still owned by the bank (Britain and UN). Your neighborhood was destroyed, so the bank tells you that you can move into the guest house of one of their properties. The current occupants, squatters, are upset so they bring over a bunch of friends and try to physically remove you and your family. You fight back and win control over a larger portion of the house. As punishment for their attack, you condemn them to the garage. They cause all kinds of trouble, and eventually recruit your neighbors to try to remove you. Once again, you win and in return, take a larger portion of the house, and some of your neighbor's yards.
Now everyone around you is pissed off because they can't evict you, and in the process, lost some of their property. All you want to do is live in the house and get on with your life, but the people now living in your tool shed, and your neighbors all want you gone, simply because you beat them when they tried to evict you. You were never the aggressor, they were.
Now they're all vandalizing your house, trying to light it on fire, randomly killing your children...and you're expected not to fight back, or protect yourself. Yeah, right. Fuck that shit. If Israel didn't have restraint, they would have already kicked the shit out of everything brown in that area.
