Re: Yes -- before Israel . . .
That is why I said it is the existence of Israel that drives the hate, and it is the activity of that existence that feeds it. If Israel was removed from Palestine, there would be a certain level of appeasement -- on one side -- but little else. The Hatred would remain. Of course, Israel would have something to say about its removal from Palestine...
Palestine does not accept Israel, and will continue to not accept Israel, regardless of how much Israel “tolerates” the Palestinians, whose land the nation of Israel covers. And it’s not even a land issue. It’s a Holy Land issue -- for both sides.
