This exerpt is a serious simplification
(and arguably a misrepresentation) of Ross's case - Ross does say (as would I - I have never said and don't believe that Israel is blameless) that both sides bear blame. But not equal blame, and not even close.
If you do read the book - which I would really recommend to anyone (though it is long), the man's knowledge of the conflict is probably greater than anyone on the planet - you'll see that his assessment that both bear blame is the way in which a 15 year old kid bears some blame in a fight with his 12 year old brother for not being mature enough - even though the 12 year old was the aggressor from the beginning.
