I like your question because it definitely is an interesting thought exercise with this issue.
Your question about what it would be like if the power was reversed and the Palestinians were in control and the Jews were subjugated has actually already been answered. We have seen the reaction that Arab countries get in the middle east when they start committing atrocities like the ones Israel is committing. They are immediately invaded, intervened with, and bombed to hell by America and NATO. There would be no chance for an Arab country to get as powerful as Israel. Imagine if Iran was as powerful as Israel is right now? There probably already would have been a huge war. The fact that NATO hasn't tried to put a stop to what Israel is doing in any way implies that they endorse the violence that is happening there.

At a very basic level what is disgusting to me about Israel is that it is an Apartheid state where one race of people are subjugated treated like second class citizens by law. I think it is everyone's duty to morally oppose that kind of government and state.
To give you my own personal perspective, I am an American Ashkenazi Jew who's grandparents fled Russia because of persecution (moving to Glasgow soon thats why I'm on the sub). I think that the state of Israel is fundamentally going against core Jewish values with their actions. They are becoming increasingly controlled by far right wing groups that resemble the alt-right in America. Ideologically they are becoming a fascist state that resembles the states that persecuted the Jews in the first place. They elected their leaders democratically and there's nothing other countries can do about that, but other Western countries can stop propping up their war crimes by supporting them with billions in military aid every year. They have killed 200 civilians in Gaza this week and Biden just sent them $700 million.

I'm by now means an expert on this subject but I monitor world news pretty closely and these are my thoughts.
