because they use generalities themselves. Like what? Is "America finances Israel's guns and tanks" a generality like "Muslims think Americans don't care about suffering of Palestinians" or "Palestinians don't understand or care etc..."? the US should have nothing to do with a government which deliberately targets civilians, which is why we should refuse to deal with Arafat. .... and continue to support Israeli settlements into Palestinian territory and continue to finance the guns and tanks of the Israeli army which then kills Palestinian civilians. Brilliant. Do the Palestinian people want peace? I thought you were arguing that they want revenge. I thought you were brighter than that. They have no hope of a better life and those kids have lived under occupation all their lives so perhaps they don't even know what "a better life" could be. In the absence of hope and constant presence of destruction, humiliation, and suffering, it is quite understandable that they forego rational long-term strategies and take up destructive and counter-productive tactics that at least hurts their "oppressors". Is that a bit clearer?
