No, I do care about Palestinians. I am just astonished at how easy they are to, as you say, provoke them into giving the Israelis an excuse to be more militaristic. That's your way of looking at it.

We both see the same behavior by Palestinians garnering the same reaction by Israelis.

I can't see why Palestinians don't see how self-destructive their behavior has been. They've lost so much that they already had, and it's probably never coming back, not in their lifetimes, maybe never.

I suspect that the rhetoric about al Aqsa and eternal grudges is just rhetoric. For that matter, nobody is really sure that you've got the right place, it's just an educated guess made centuries after the fact.
