No one talks about /ethics . When they talk about out good vs. bad they usually mean for their own interest. The complexities of the Israel/Palestine conflict are greatly reduced if you just look through the lens of ethics for example.

Please expand on that. Pretty sure any side in any conflict would also claim to be the "ethical" one. Maybe the ethics are already "priced in"?

They would claim to be ethical without actually doing the mental work needed to see if their claim is accurate. There is a way to check if you are being ethical or if others are, anyone can claim anything they like.

Hard for me to imagine it is that simple. Wouldn't different people have different value hierarchies? How do you determine which of the value hierarchies is superior?

Don’t need to go in too deep to realize you might be committing genocide and that’s probably bad. If you use mythological stories of an unethical god saying a piece of land is yours and so you should take it from others, for example, is not a good lens to make decisions through. A book on Ethics is a better tool.
