The late Abba Eban once said that the Palestneans never miss an
opportunity to miss an opportunity.

I do pity the Palestinians. They could already have most of what they
need, if not what they want. I don't understand how people can be
willing to put up with so much suffering needlessly, and pointlessly.

If you do not understand that explain to me why so many millions of Jews
chose to live under daily threat to their lives and in a state of
perpetual war.

What kind of person enjoys being in a constant state of war and threat of
violent death?


I doubt they do, although due to there overwhelming advantages in military
strength the odds of an Israeli dying a violent death at the hands of a
Palestinian are quite low, and the average Israeli's quality of life is much
much better than that of the average Palestinian.
