"What do you think the Palestinians really want?"

Who exactly are you talking about? The Palestinian leadership? Or everybody in Palestine? You don't make it clear, do you? I don't criticise "Israel." I do criticise the Israeli regime. If I did criticise Israel, or the Israeli people, or "the Jews," you'd be down my throat like a shot. So who do you mean by "the Palestinians?" Sounds like exactly the loose talk that you would instantly castigate your "adversaries" for. Well I'll tell you what I think "the Palestinians" want. They want what you want. They want what I want. They want what the Israeli people want. They want a bit of prosperity, they want nice places to live, they want security and they want peace. "The Palestinians" are human beings just like you, me and the Jews in Israel and everywhere else. If there's one thing that Joe's narrative has brought into focus, it's that "the Palestinians" are proud people who value their culture and heritage. Try to see it.
