with a people who openly celebrate the murder of civilians and fire rockets into cities to terrify the civilian population.
This, too, is totally explainable and understandable (i.e., the "cycle of violence"
.
My point also still stands. You and others deflect and refuse to deal with historic and often egregious Palestinian misconduct, no less tacitly (or openly) support some demands that are wholly incompatible with the vast majority of the most liberal of their governmental supporters (e.g., "river to the sea," total right of return, etc.)
When you use the establishment of Israel in 1948 as the baseline, when the only people purportedly occupying the current Palestinian territories were the Egyptians and the Jordanians, their fellow Arabs and Muslims, do you ever wonder why many people don't believe you really seek peaceful coexistence between Jew and Arab, but rather deny Jews self-determination, the very principle you're advocating for the Palestinians, and its perceived as antisemitism?
Ironically, the Palestinians, and virtually everyone else but the Israelis, are oppressed by their own tyrannical and/or theocratic leaders and governments, but the silence about this state of affairs is deafening, and the double standards impossible to miss.
Simply, your type of "explaining" and "understanding" is indeed comparable, if not explicitly, an apology or excusal of terror.
