I hate to interrupt Jose's long lonely weekend talking to himself but... It is true that the vast majority of Palestinian children grow up hating Jews but it's not primarily an indoctrination thing.The personal experience of their young lives is more shaping than a thousand years of indoctrination. The only Jews most of them have encountered are humiliating them at check points, stealing their land and bulldozing their houses. How would you expect them to come to feel ?
The most bizarre aspect of the illegal occupation is that for Israel it is not enough for the Palestinians not to resist. It is not even enough for them to grudgingly just live with it. They are expected to LIKE it.
