if the Palestinians were basing their violence and anger only on the occupation.

But of course, all their violence and anger isn't about the occupation of the WB (or formerly Gaza) at all, but on the "occupation of all of greater Palestine".


The Palestinians have made suffering their national identity, but shouldn't simply blame the Israelis for their bad lot in life. They have had ample opportunity, before Hamas made things infinitely worse, to improve their lives.

They have taken absolutely no resposnibility whatsoever in the past 60 years (including the 20 years when they were under Jordanian and Egyptian occupation) to achieve statehood, reduce their misery, etc.
