Israel’s been imprisoning 2 million Gazans for decades. The spirit of revolution in the region is similar to that of the Americans over the British, the French over the Ancient Regime, the Haitians over the French, the Russians over the Tsardom, the Chinese over the Qing dynasty, the Indonesians over the Dutch, and countless other times where the principles of sovereignty and self-determination prevailed over a hostile governing power and gave power to the people. In places of great inequality, revolutionaries congregate. Israel only has themselves to blame for this mess.
Or the failed Turkish coup of 2016, the failed Taiping Rebellion of 1850, the failed 1733 St. John Insurrection, or any number of failed slave uprisings. These are less famous because they’re failed rebellions.
I can’t see any way the Palestinians could win. They effectively have no economy. Their military is tiny compared to Israel. They have no real allies, just other countries that use them as pawns.

You could have cited the uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto
Absolutely.
