I think this board, in general, gives a pass to Islam and the Palestinians in particular.

This may be true; but I have not seen that so much as arguing the "chicken and egg" to counter the "Israel is to be unquestioningly supported by the U.S." narrative on these boards.

I would say, as with most conflicts, there are few "angels" on either side that engage in violence ... because both will claim their acts to be "self-defense", and can "prove it" depending on where one chooses to start and stop the time-line of events.
