E.T. you are generalizing. The fact is that your conclusion is completely untrue.

Yes there is a minority if Israelis who hate arabs and most of them had relatives or friends killed or wounded by terrorists acts, but the big majority of Israelis including those living in the disputed territories moved there with the hope of coexistence.

I can speak / write about my own experience, as a teenager I had many Arab friends and more than once some of them sleept over in my room. Later as a student I had an Arab Christian girlfriend and to date I have fine memories of her. The 1967 war and it's results did not bother them ........................ but all this was before the PLO gained recognition and power.

The real disaster is that a terrorist organization .... the PLO .... gained power trough terror and got legitimacy first by Arab states, Europeans and then the world. The SA movement in Germany started the same way and Hitler got first elected as a member in Germany Parliament from there the story is known.
