In a large enough group, you'll find someone who eats chicken litter and
bays at the moon.  But that's not a characteristic of the whole group.

No, I don't think it's WANTING to destroy Israel, it's NEEDING to have a
victory.  Think about Israeli security, and then think about Palestinian
security in the same breath.

Most Palestinians never knew a time when they weren't being attacked or
occupied by Israel.  They find it difficult to put aside the hatred and
accept that they can live at peace with those who occupied them.

The Israelis have the same problem with regard the Palestinians -- except
they see terrorism, rather than miliary conquest, occupation and so on as
the cause.
