While #Netanyahu and his friends routinely charge the #Palestinians of hating and resenting #Israel, he conveniently forgets that the Palestinians are under occupation and that every Palestinian under the age of 48 was born under occupation. Their behavior and the way they feel is a natural reaction to their sense of victimhood and despair. He repeatedly accused the Palestinians of being untrustworthy, but then he insisted on continuing settlement expansion during the negotiations, making it extremely difficult for the Palestinians to negotiate “in good faith” while witnessing their territory being chewed up inch by inch. I do not suggest here that the Palestinians have had the best of intentions to coexist with Israel in peace. That said, the Israelis must recognize that times have changed; Israel must distinguish between #Hamas and other jihadists, who represent only a small minority of Palestinians. Today there is an absolute majority of Palestinians in the West Bank and #Gaza who want to live in peace, without necessarily falling in love with Israel. t.co/Aeecg1q2Fn
