Every Muslim nation didn't have the state of Israel created on top of them by international dictate. Or Jewish settlements displacing their homes. It kills some of you to even recognize that the Palestinians have any legitimate grievances. I'm no fan of Hezbollah or Hamas by any means, but they are strengthened by the status quo and by allowing Israel to act in whatever fashion they please since God supposedly gave them this land.

We don't have to simplify complex issues just to placate our own agendas.

No, it doesn't. But many people recognize that the ultimate (and almost singular) goal of those "running" the Palestinian side is to kill Jews. Both short-term and long-term goal. I don't GAF about any "nation" which governs with these goals.

My only agenda is to live peacefully with each other.

The Palestinians probably do have legitimate gripe about losing their land when Israel was formed in '48 (admittedly I do not know much about the details of the formation of the Jewish state in terms of the deals brokered). But the time since those apparent injustices have passed.

Maybe instead of violent means the Palestinians can gain some type of retribution through international diplomatic means? But we know that won't happen because their ultimate goal is the eradication of the Jews. They've hated the Jews way before the state of Israel was formed in '48.
