To be honest Zeev, I don't think understanding either the strategic goals of the Palestinians or the Israelis is going to make this conflict any more justified. Figuring out what the other guy really wants is essential to determining how you respond. If you think you can live with it, you may decide you want peace after all. If you can't live with it, then fighting it out is better. This judgement is made continually by both sides, and is also dependent on their relative strength and morale at each moment.

If both sides do not want peace, that means both want war, what is more "justified" then the parties wanting war, who here is the "justifying" agent? If the long range strategic goal of the Palestinian is indeed what they teach their children in school (a Palestine from the river to the sea, without any Israeli state), why should not the Israeli fight like mad to prevent such a catastrophe, that is a fully justified war of national preservation, more so than our own war against the Talibans and international terror.
