Your easy, lazy generalization expresses the odious ideology of moral equivalence: https://medium.com/illumination-curated/middle-east-moral-asymmetries-vs-moral-equivalence-7eb0bae0e8d4

Only one side uses human shields.

Only one side uses mass necrophilic rape and genital mutilation with orders in phonetic Hebrew of "take off your clothes, spread your legs, lie down", etc.

Only one side's media glorifies sacrificing its children to a jihadi death cult of martyrdom.

Only one side openly calls for attacking and killing its opponents' co-religionists all over the world.

Only one side has a genocidal covenant.

Only one side saw a mass protest movement in defense of secular constitutional law and an independent judiciary.

Only one side welcomes gay and trans refugees from the other. Palestinians throw gays off rooftops to see if they can fly.

Only one side practices female genital mutilation.

Only one side openly proclaims the objective of "not a single Jew will live in Palestine".

Only one side repeatedly rejected partition and compromise.

Only one side rejects the historic presence of the other in the land despite (literally) mountains of archaeological evidence.

Only one side has 20% of the other's living as a minority with equal civil and voting rights.

Only one side launched a self-declared war of extermination to prevent the birth of statehood of the other.

Only one side is a dog in the manger that declared openly that rather than get a state for itself while accepting the other's statehood it preferred statehood for neither.

Religious extremism: Zionism's origins are largely secular and its purpose rescue of Jews accepted nowhere. Palestinian nationalism is an Islamist jihadi death cult. Fatah's secular nationalism is virtually dead. Just take a look at https://palwatch.org.
