Yes, there’s a huge power imbalance. One could argue that if Israel wants peace, it needs to create better conditions for its enemy. But that’s a difficult political position to take (it cost Rabin his life). Then again, consider that the Sunshine policy adopted by South Korea towards the north. This did little, ultimately to strengthen relations and bring peace.
I’d say when one side has to go through checkpoints, can’t vote, can’t work without permission, can’t use same shops, schools and hospitals. Not to mention the stolen land and further expansion of this it’s quite easy to frame them as resistance fighters and fighters for freedom.
