(50,254 posts)And the last fifteen years have proven that it is impossible to change the Palestinian leadership for the better by immiserating the Palestinian people.
This isn't about hatred of Jews. It's about the fact that nothing that happened to the world's Jewish communities(horrific as all of that was and sometimes still is) justified what was done to Palestinians.
And I didn't reject the offers myself. I'm not the Palestinian leadership. It's just that it's not as simple as saying "they rejected the offers".
BTW, you have yet to explain how, if this WAS solely due to antisemitism, the tactics the IDF has used against ordinary Palestinians on a day-to-day basis would cause that particular feeling to go away. You do realize that it's not possible to oppress a people into tolerance, right?
The PLO was formed in 1964 because the Palestinians, in addition to not wanting to ever be ruled by the Israelis, didn't want to be ruled by the Hashemites(and rule by the Hashemites is the ONLY thing that could ever come to Palestinians of your preferred option of an Israel-Jordan confederation, Jordan is going to be ruled by the Hashemites for the rest of eternity and the Palestinians would have no hope of any control over their destiny in that scenario.
