You speak of the "unbridled delight the Palestinians show at killing random Jews -- old, young, religious, secular, soldier, civilian, inside the Green Line or outside, it doesn't matter --" while overlooking the continued assault by armed Jews against rock throwing children. They are equally appalling in their treatment of the Palestinians just as the Palestinian response is appalling. Those "rock throwing children" so pitiably described in the BBC are usually hundreds of teenagers backed by live gunfire in the express hope of killing Israelis or creating martyrs for the cause. I'm sure there have been incidents where unthreatening kids have been killed, but the great majority of dead Palestinians were clearly combatants. The majority of dead Israelis were clearly civilians. Tell me, did the schoolkids on the bus even throw a rock at anybody? And whenever the Palestinians score a big kill, they throw a party. Whenever the Palestinians get a new martyr, they throw a party too -- "wedding" announcements are posted in the paper. To say it's the same on both sides is pure moral equivalence.
