The point I was making was that Palestinians are not to blame for the failings of their co-religionists in other parts of the world. I drew the parallel with the other form of anti-semitism (the form that puts Jews rather than Arabs in the frame), because it's perhaps easier to recognise this as racist/sectarian.

Obviously all of us have a duty to do what we can to help people in other parts f the world, and we probably have a particular duty for those with whom we have some kind of cultural/religious link, or those who have been adversely affected by those with whom we have such links. But that is another matter.

The key to any peace process, in any conflict is probably for people on both sides to concentrate their attention on the actions of "their own side" rather than on those of "the other side." Is there anything "we" could do better? Is there anything "we" are doing which makes it harder for the people of goodwill on "the other side", and so forth. Concentrating on the failings of enemies is essentially a waste of time.
