to expand further on thisand Jews of the diaspora almost never lived in conditions comparable to Palestinians, and when they did, some of them fought back
the only place and time besides the Holocaust where diaspora conditions approached Gaza/WB was the Pale of Settlement
many Jews there lived in miserable conditions. so did most of their serf (after emancipation, peasant) neighbors.
and indeed pogroms etc were a major factor in the disproportionate number of Jews who became revolutionaries, i.e. fought back
every other place time and where diaspora conditions approached Gaza/WB, Jews lacked the numbers/concentration for armed resistance
try fighting back when you're expelled from Spain or England cos a medieval king doesn't want to pay his debts. good luck with that.
