Did Britain use helicopter gunships with rockets in order to kill suspected IRA bombers along with dozens of innocent apartment dwellers?
No.. but they firebombed entire cities full of civilian populations in order to subvert morale for the evil regime they support.. A regime which was responsible for waging war (some might call it Jihad) against them.
Furthermore, Britain and the US carpetbombed French cities where it was believe German troops were seeking shelter.
Did Britain consider making it illegal for Catholics to own land in certain places in Northern Ireland?
You mean like Jordan did when they owned the West Bank.. Making it a capital offense to sell land to a Jew? I also believe a similar law exists in the Palestinian Authority, which btw, is STILL a separate governmental entity. And as a governmental entity, they are responsible for the actions which transpire within their defined borders.
Did Britain have a law preventing Catholics from moving back to Northern Ireland?
I'm not sure, but in the past the British permitted the Potato Famines to occur without stepping forward to provide relief (some cited Malthus)

Did Britain institute curfews with such regularity that people were unable to work?
Interesting point.. Remind yourself that the Israelis need that labor resource just as much as the Palestinians require the jobs. With labor in short supply, wage inflation results, and costs soar (eventually negating those higher wages).
Also remind yourself that the roads and infrastructure in the West Bank were primarily built by Israelis, paid for by Israeli taxpayers. The PA has not offered, nor paid, any compensation for the decades of infrastructure maintenance and improvement that Israel effected in area.
And that's kind of why, I opine, the Israelis don't mind destroying it from time to time... After all, they built it, it's their's to destroy. It's certain that Jordan didn't invest nearly as much in the region during the time they controlled it.
Was Britain a nation of 6 million surrounded by 100 million Catholics? [Hint: "Southern" Ireland's population is less than 4 million, but Great Britain's is around 60 million.]
No.. But Israel is 5 million people surrounded well over 100 million Arabs and assorted muslims, all taking DIRECT steps to destroy their nation and drive them into the sea. And this has been going on for well over 50 years.
The Palestinians are nothing more than pawns in the "great game" of middle eastern politics. The fact that Iran is able to direct the timing and intensity of Palestinian attacks against Israel is indicative of just how little control the Palestinian people have over the course of their own future...
They are nothing more than "expendable assets" for the purpose of destroying the Jews.
So how is that for a contrast/comparison??
