No they weren't! Israel wasn't compromising, they were doing what every insurance company does to an injured family (e.g. shortchanging), "Oh, yes, we know you're asking for a whole state to yourselves and equal representation, so how about we give you the Gaza Strip and West Bank and that's it?"
A compromise is two groups of people coming to an equitable agreement, taking away people's homes and then telling them, "oh you can have the land that we've given you" isn't a compromise. It's the same thing as the Americans "compromising" with the Native Americans by making them live on reservations.

CONTEMPT TOWARD OFFICIALS
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
889. ART. 89 DISRESPECT TOWARD SUPERIOR COMMISSIONED OFFICER
Any person subject to this chapter who behaves with disrespect toward his superior commissioned officer shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
There's a difference between disrespecting the President, and calling the President on his wrongdoing. Disrespect would be calling his daughters drunken sluts and then peeing on his shoes. What that Marine is doing is called "Whistleblowing."
