I also feel truly sorry for the Palestinian people because their leaders have indoctrinated them so badly starting in the 1920s, and now indoctrinate the world to hate Israel when, even through war, not so long ago Israelis welcomed Palestinians to their tables and many, many worked for peace. The Arab leaders have done everything they can to prevent peace from enduring, and to indoctrinate the west into repeating divisive rhetoric. Empathy or not, the western narrative is not helping anyone in the Middle East to bring about the peaceful, rich lives that they all deserve.
