The reason the ME is so sensitive is because we want things to be equal. We also want the underdog to be just.

Well, that isn’t in the cards. Prior to the ‘Palestinians’ israels’ enemies were nations with armies, huge armies. Israel was the David fighting the Goliath.

Shrewd Palestinians made themselves the victims and overnight, they became the David versus the Israeli Goliath.

The difference is that Israel is moral, even as an occupier and the Palestinian ‘David’ is not moral.

It really is that simple- it’s just that no one wants to admit the victim here isn’t virtuous.
