Somehow I think there are two forces at work here: one is the notion that criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic. The other is like a card that’s held in our back pocket, the anti-Semitic card, that we gentiles pull out too often. A friend of mine, naturally Jewish, said “Why is it that I, who have been removed from Israel for a thousand years, can go back to live there, but Palestinians who were born there cannot.”
Israel is a tiny part of the area. Jews and Arabs lived in Palestine for many centuries. There never was an Arab Palestinian nation.
Most of the conflict stems from the fact that Arabs have HATED Jews for hundreds of years.
