Try changing to pre-1990 South Africa and see what you end up with.
Your conclusions are (Arabs = bad) + (Jews = good) = Israel justified in doing whatever in the hizzle it wants to any Arab. Moral people can do unjust things. Dog lovers can be serial killers. None of this has anything to do with the Israeli - Palestinian conflict, or how "the world" views it.
When people see you killing women and children indiscriminately, as a powerful, illegal occupying force, all the while claiming some sort of moral superiority (see your post), it is not so difficult to see why they support the freedom fighting Palestinian refugees.
This poll is just another portion of the echo chamber we are all part of when it comes to this issue, and it is nearly impossible to remove yourself from it and see things from an objective position.
Admittedly, even as a contrarian, I fail to see another view of the conflict outside of my "right wing extremist evil Zionist baby killer" pov. But it is still very easy to see why others wouldn't see my picture.
Why bring up South African apartheid when you can simply bring up the pre-1960's American South?
From Wikipedia:
"From 1960 to 1983, 3.5 million non-white South Africans were removed from their homes, and forced into segregated neighbourhoods, in one of the largest mass removals in modern history.[8] Non-white political representation was abolished in 1970, and starting in that year black people were deprived of their citizenship"- Was there a U.N. resolution passed, giving white South Africans their own state?
- Did Israel forcefully remove Arabs from their homes and force them into Gaza?
- Were Arabs who wished to stay deprived of their citizenship?
- Is there no Arab representation in the Knesset?
Before bringing up Deir Yassin and the Irgun, I'll have you know that it is documented that Ben Gurion not only asked but BEGGED Arab villagers to stay in their cities. They fled anyway, due to a combination of Arab leaders telling them to leave and being afraid of the ongoing conflict, which was provoked 100% by the Arabs.
(I wonder, why didn't all the Jews flee Israel after the 1929 Hebron massacre?).
After multiple attacks on Jews in Israel, including a gruesome attack that killed over 80 doctors and nurses traveling to Hadassa hospital, Israel fought back, first against Arabs within Israel, and then 5 Arab countries that came to "drive the Jews into the sea".
Once Israel finally secured the land given to them legally by the U.N., plus lands that they captured in the course of the war (which by right of conquest, now belongs to Israel), the Arabs who stayed were given full privilege and full citizenship like any Jewish person there. As for those who ran, hoping Israel would be driven into the sea, I don't know a single country that would allow those people to come back, mainly for security reasons.
In summation, there is no fact-based backup to claim that Israel is "occupying" anything. Throwing around words like "Irgun" and "Deir Yassin" are meaningless in the face of the complete story.
I have never made any statement that "Arabs are bad and Jews are good". My statement simply pointed out that when watching this conflict on the news (heavily skewed in favor of the Palestinians), it must cross your mind that Israel might actually be the victim, considering the global terror emanating from Arab countries VS the productivity coming from Israel.
