You see the exact same arguments that you're making when it comes to landback movements. Where do all the settler colonists go? In states like the US or Canada they've just been far more deeply entrenched with hundreds of years of oppression. You have people crying about if we do landback that the native populations will genocide all settler colonists. We're watching the equivalent of the indigenous uprisings in the the Americas happen across the globe in real time as the Israel settler-colonial state is still in the genocide portion of their settler-colonialism. The US doesn't need to have dirty genocides anymore since it's already been done, they get the cleaner genocide of keeping native populations poor and desperate. Would you say that the indigenous peoples of the Americas shouldn't've fought back when they were being destroyed? That killing civilians is a bad thing when those civilians were actively destroying them by not only stealing their homes but by also supporting the absolute devastation of an entire nation while dehumanizing them all?
Just because the genocidal state of Israel can do far worse back should mean that they just lie down and get crushed to death? They have every right to stand up and defend themselves from a regime that has and will continue to destroy them. The ones born there could take up arms and join the Palestinians to fight for their freedom and live in a unified state. Jewish people lived in Palestine before, they can still. The issue is that with a settler colonial state enacting genocide there's only one option for the oppressed, and it's to violently resist because all other avenues have no effect on stopping them.
