You could still do it, you'd just word it slightly differently, because the ontology would be different. There would be more of a stress on the 'impersonal' material forces, of a sort, that took the form of present forms. Alternatively, you would have to be prepared to argue that there is something special in humans themselves, that prevents them from being a completely blank slate that is shaped by mere material conditions. I think humans are special in that way, but it seems evidenced to be rare. I don't know
There are extremist and violent groups everywhere, and yet not everywhere do those extremist groups hold significant power. Why do you think they hold power in Gaza? Is there some inherent, material moral failing that people who live in that region all seem to possess that
allows them to be more favourable to extremist voices, or do you take the position that
the material conditions of those people can be a significant influence on ideology and outcomes? Like I said, I think it makes perfect sense for the people of Palestine to be much more motivated by a sentiment that promises retribution against their oppressors than a sentiment that says "we need more infrastructure for tourism", and I think it's pretty obvious why this isn't simply a result of a moral failings of millions of people.
Well where does it start? I can't believe that the Israelis want to purposely create a neighbor that would viciously attack them. Who wants that? What purpose would that possibly serve?
They get to then attack that neighbour and seize their land. I mean, what was it that Nazi Germany got out of scapegoating Jews and socialists? Turns out they got a lot. They used it as a pretext to attack their ideological enemies, consolidate state power and annex neighbouring territory in the name of the fatherland.
Israel has the backing of the USA and one of the most heavily funded and effective armies in the world. They get a lot out of antagonising a significantly weaker neighbour while losing very little. If Israel had nothing to gain from Palestine, they simply would not be engaging in the wide-ranging settler-colonialism that we see today on the west bank. They definitely want the land, and they want to consolidate power in the region. It's a self-perpetuating cycle. Israel steals land and kills Palestinians, which leads to more Palestinian extremists, which leads to more terrorist attacks again Israeli civilians (with very little reaching the political class), which leads to more stealing of land.
