This is a remarkable (but painfully familiar) recitation of Israeli stereotypes and shibboleths -- the moral equivalent of anti-Semitic caricatures of Jews. I very much doubt the author has ever met a Palestinian. He certainly knows nothing about Palestinian society and politics. And he mischaracterizes the meaning of the word "Nakba" in accordance with the Israeli national myth of immaculate state creation amidst a war launched by "the Arabs." He actually seems happy about his conclusion that peace for Israel is impossible.
