I’ve never really realized how aligned current liberal thinking among youngest demographics are with the Palestinian cause. My father is a one issue voter (Israel survival) and made an inexplicable shift towards the right in the past two decades. It seems to make a lot more sense now.

Unfortunately, in my lifetime, terror has been the modus operandi at work in innumerable Muslim dominated states, with the bulk of the organized terror orgs in countries surrounding Israel, which is smaller than my state of NH. We remember Al Quaida and ISIS and the taliban, but seem to forget they were all predated by the PLO (1964), Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Al-Aqsa Martyrs, and others. All with the specific goal of destroying the Israeli state.

The play all along has been to maintain refugee status of the Palestinian people, using them as pawns to garner public support and a rationale for continually attacking Israel. It has been the failure of Palestinian leadership (and other Arab nations except Egypt in 1978) to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist that has broken down peace talks for the 6 decades of my lifetime. And, most every skirmish and war has been provoked by surrounding Arab states and/or Palestinian territories.

I don’t think younger folks have the same appreciation of history as I do, nor are most looking from the Jewish perspective. They hear “apartheid” though I think it is incorrectly applied, and I’m,ediately side with the supposed victim
