I'm not sure which political system they are shut out off - the Palestinians have their own political system and leaders. It's just not democratic.
They are also not under any military rule except their own. Almost all of the Israeli military presence in Gaza and the west bank is either during wars (ridiculously called operations), or in checkpoints between these territories. They are currently fighting against a de-facto foreign government.
But you know what, let's assume that the situation is as you describe it. So, what you're saying is that there is an apartheid and the Palestinian want, in fact, to participate and vote for the Israeli government but are blocked from it. You're also saying that these settlers are all pure evil and want to inflict pain and suffering out of sheer sadism and hate. They deserve a death sentence. Is that about right?
Sure thing bud.
