Nadine, you are without question the most ethno-centric person I have ever seen. The fact of the matter is that the "pals" and the "Izzys" had a working relationship, with thousands of Pals working for the Izzys in Israel.

With time and wisdom, something between the two peoples might have been worked out. But the Israelis had the power to start occupying territory not theirs in the West Bank, and did. With no kind of accord of any sort, just a unilateral and immoral act of power, they moved in and took over, in the process making an attempt to turn the Pals (as you contemptuously call them) into helots. This act of occupation, grounded in might-makes-right, has been the open sore that has kept the region in turmoil for a generation, has destroyed the Israelis as a people capable of sustaining any kind of moral ideal, turning israel into one of the most corrupt and brutal democracies on the planet, and in time will lead to the destruction of Israel as a physical entity.
