Palestinians' Sympathy Demand Fuels Hate Spreading

The author argues that Palestinians have been demanding sympathy while spreading hate and perpetuating a culture of grievance and entitlement. They believe they are entitled to sympathy and struggle to understand why they don't receive more of it. The author highlights the toxic mixture of grievance and entitlement behind the tearing down of posters with the faces of Israelis taken hostage by Hamas and the sense of glee expressed by Palestinians and their supporters following the Oct. 7 attacks. The author criticizes the lack of condemnation of Palestinian acts of terrorism and the refusal to acknowledge their own responsibility for their situation. They argue that Palestinians continue to garner support for their false narrative of victimhood, while the authors of their problems remain the leaders, groups, and supporters who back their suicidal choices and resort to terrorism. The author concludes that Palestinians need to look inward and acknowledge their own commitment to a national identity that denies the humanity and rights of Jews.
