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,

Of course they do. Did someone force them to go there? They freely chose to
live that way.

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,

They whine so much about it you know they think it is important even though
they freely chose the risk.

and the average Israeli's quality of life is much
much better than that of the average Palestinian.

And the average jewish Israeli's is much better than the average non-jewish
Israeli. It is the old south syndrome.

And Israel standard of living compares favorably with the lowest countries in
Europe so they took a major decrease in quality of life in addition to choosing
the live in constant danger.
