I see what you’re trying to do but that’s very much a false equivalence. It’s more akin to the US’ role in the creation of the Taliban (among many, many other orgs)
Enlighten me, what similar situations are happening with Israel and Palestine that makes this comparison relevant? The politics and history around slavery in the US are completely different than this
Did the South have left-wing, secular parties with popular support that wanted abolition? Did the north actively suppress these parties while funding a group of religious extremists to do their dirty work and then turn on them when the arrangement wasn’t convenient to them? Was the north violently oppressing the south for decades before the civil war? Did the north interfere in the elections that lead to the religious extremists gaining control of the south? Are the results of that election hotly contested to this day?

Who do you think ran the Underground Railroad? Harriet Tubman wasn’t alone.
More to the point, the existence of anti-slavery actors in the South did not remove the basis for engaging them in battle.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that in the Third Millennium AD people will still come to the defense of terrorists, but here we are.
