You've obviously missed the point. Yes, the extremists in the younger generations are equally extreme on both sides. That's why the levels of Jew-Arab communal violence have been increasing, and might possibly escalate into a full ethnic civil war.
So why back one group of extremists over another group with a similar profile? Frankly, the Israelis are burning through their legitimacy at a prodigious rate. Soon, even their advocate will have to agree, and then what?

That's why I know so much more than you, and why you know so little, since all you know is the highly censored information provided by state media like CNN.
Or why you're so OCD that you can't focus on anything outside your narrow view of the world. Seeing Fox News as anything other than a propaganda bullhorn for the extreme right is telling.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
