"This vision also explains the otherwise unfathomable passivity of the Palestinians with regard to organizing civil, non-violent protest against the settlements. Perhaps it also accounts for their staying asleep at nights when thugs burn their mosques. Unlike their brethren in Syria and other Arab states - who, bare-chested, confront army bullets fired by their own compatriots - the Palestinians passively watch accelerated settlement construction; and with their sub-conscious patience they drag us toward a binational state." Somebody should tell this racist that Palestinians have been protesting since the 1920s, but that his Zionist brethren have been shooting them like pigeons since then. But as a racist he won't notice the Zionist murder of Palestinians even if he were to witness it. (thanks Alain)
