    It's only a small percentage that are violent extremists, they say...

    What that video seems to show is that supporting Hamas is okay to do in
    public. While I don't doubt the authenticity of the people interviewed,
    I'm suspicious of there being no contrarians in sight.

    Also, they seem to have been told that, e.g., there were no Oct 7 rapes.
    Such a disparity in "facts" renders any comparison of attitudes moot.

    Right, because the West Bank is famous for its tolerance of dissenting
    views. </sarc>

    In a pig's eye! It demonstrates clearly the attitudes of the
    "Palestinians": they despise the Jews and want them all driven out or dead.

    But the "Palestinians" and Israelis have ONE thing in common: they both
    reject the "two state solution" utterly. Now if only the rest of the
    world, especially the West, would understand that and stop wasting
    everyone's time demanding that panacea....

    Umm... you seem to be agreeing with my observation???

    That's the attitude shown, but it seems based on alternative facts.

    Trump's right that Few "firm principles" can withstand a profit motive.
