"The unjust generalization was ...it became much easier to recognize muslims .... You stigmatize all muslims by that remark."

I must be too narrow minded to see another view that explains why muslims do not condemn violence against others, muslim intolerance, etc. When the facts are laid bare, and one uses them to draw the logical conclusion, the stigmatization is self imposed. Their holy book teaches that faithful worshipers of other faiths are of no greater value than a herd animal. I and other of my faith are much more tolerant of their sensibilities than they are of ours.

"Neighbors who want good relations build fences on their own land."

In some Israeli's perspective all of the land West of the Jordan river is Israeli land, and they have allowed Pallestinians to occupy it. If Pallestinians were good neighbors, they would have a right to expect better treatment from Israelis. Good neighbors do not murder their neighbors.
