If the Palestinian struggle is gonna succeed then like the anti apartheid one it will probably take a lot of international sanctions and an internal mobilization. It seems to me the delusion of the two state solution has stalled a lot of things but you do see BDS pick up steam in colleges.
As for over-representation of minorities in certain areas: this is true for all minorities who voluntarilly moved here and were not surpressed completely. See: South Asians, East Asians. Probably something to do with a tendency of minorities to commit to education (if they are allowed access that is). Probably will get more insights as you read the history of various communities here (the jews were heavily discriminated against in America as far as I know - not being allowed to hold office for an obvious example and ofc violence, nothing as brutal as the experience of black and native americans though which I think makes a difference). These questions matter to the extent that minorities often have not shown solidarity with each other when it comes to their struggle (which is shared across much broader sections but you would think solidarity with other minorities would be easier than the working class in general, the recent interviews Finklestein has given are pretty interesting and relevant here). There doesn't seem to be any exceptional evil about any given community though. Israelis could be Hindus (see Kashmir), or Buddhists (see Mayanmar) or Turkish (see Armenia) etc etc etc
Your intrusive thoughts are probably due to habbit. If you recognize them for what they are you should be able to deal with them overtime.
About Jewish history in America? Most of what I know comes from a visit to the Jewish history museum in Philladelphia :p
About other things I said:
read the Holocaust Industry by Norman Finkelstein. About Kashmir there is Hindu rulers muslim subjects. For Turkey there was a great episode on the podcast guerrila history (why turkey is authoritarian or something - it is also a book haven't read it yet).
