I'll make it easy for you to understand: both sides are to blame when you look at this situation on a holistic & historical level.

No, you are wrong. You cannot compartmentalise this in that way. The violence has been going on for many years and it is practically a way of life for these people. A violent assault encourages a violent defence.
If you and your family were being threatened with this kind of violence and intimidation, you wouldn’t just sit there and take it. Well, nor will the Israelites, and why should they?
The Palestinians have a legitimate grievance about a past generation being removed from the place they once lived, but this is not the way to go about resolving that dispute. Get rid of the fanaticism and lack of trust, and the two sides could live in peace together and even find a way of sharing the land currently occupied by Israel. That is a long way off, of course, but it should be an objective.
But nothing will change while Hamas exists.
