Imagine that your home and olive business were lost to people you already hated who ran you off to a refugee camp outside Oklahoma City and where your previous moral society had been replaced by a ghetto culture over the couple of decades that you've been living like an animal.

I don't have to imagine very hard, karen, just look at the history of the Jews of Europe in the 20th century (heck, ask me my own family history sometime). But the Jews seem resistant ot the "ghetto culture" you describe; even the residents of the DP camps wanted to get out & build a life, a country, and their fellow Jews wanted to help them. The Palestinian national cause, on the other hand, is not about building Palestine but about destroying Israel. Every time they are given a chance to give up the second in order to get the first, they refuse.

Maybe this "ghetto culture" you imagine is not a universal human feature, but a product of particular ideological frameworks.
