How the Palestinians lost their way : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 21/2/2023

Although the 55-year-old Israeli occupation cannot be justified under any circumstances, Palestinian leaders have greatly contributed to its disastrous continuation.

Palestine is a myth.

How wonderful is hatred.
About the only thing that can last forever.
And achieve nothing positive en route.

I cannot agree with this article by a writer that I usually admire,, I once did a project with a World Bank economist from Palestine who went back to Israel to visit his family home that normally would have been his. He was stopped at the airport, stripped and searched for some hours, while his American Born wife waited outside. He hates Israelis

Can't say I agree with much of this one. The Palestinians have had the land, farms, homes and income streams removed by force without recompense in many cases, by an invading army of occupation. And further exacerbated by the current Israeli government that is the most right-wing government in it short, troubled history. Which, I believe, by comparison makes the Nazis look like boy scouts.

The forced dispossession of Palestinian land is not how one ends this conflict/bloodbath! When you reduce a people to a status of nothing left to lose, do not expect them to go quietly into the night! But take bloody revenge while they can.

Thank you Alon for this excellent and balanced article.

These "Palestinians" always wanted to destroy Israel - and are now starting to succeed.
They also wanted to become martyrs and they are starting to have their wish fulfilled.

Yes, they will not remain alive to see their victory, and certainly not remain on their land, but who cares when Israel too is destroying itself from within and much of it can be attributed to the cytokine storm resulting from the "Palestinian" adamant resistance!

Netanyahu's new regime has already started Israel's demolition, brick by brick, while good peaceful Israelis observe how their life's efforts as well as their parents' and grandparents' are being ruined, so they despair and leave the country in droves, leaving Netanyahu and his fellow Nazi partners , to do with the country whatever they want without any breaks.

Great achievement - are you happy now?

Not sure the Palestinians wanted any of this or to become martyrs. True they wanted to drive Israel into the sea. But those days could be behind us with a negotiated two state agreement. And never ever doable as long as Israel continues to illegally annex more occupied land as the spoils of war!

Dear Alan,

«True they wanted to drive Israel into the sea.»

And they have!

Not physically, but morally and spiritually they got Israel corrupted from within, they got its society torn up, they got it to completely miss the dream its founders aspired to. Whether it physically survives or otherwise, Israel no longer serves a purpose. It has drowned.

I think this article puts a stake in the heart of any claims of victimhood by the Palestinians.
