Who gets to define the term? If the majority of Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank want the end of Israel, then who is Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib to claim that he is pro-Palestinian if he does not support that? If the majority of them are willing to make peace with israel, then why are the protestors so hot to push the anti-Israel agenda?
