		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Naseem is typical. Edward Said was also too generous to Zionists like Noam Chomsky - that&#039;s why he was the American left&#039;s favorite Palestinian. 

The story of Jaffa illustrates the Jewish ethnic strategy of &lt;i&gt;chutzpah&lt;/i&gt;. You know Jews complain that the Arabs want to &#039;drive them into the sea&#039;? That&#039;s what the Jews did to the Palestinians in Jaffa.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Ah! Chomsky!” he beams, “Now there’s a man! A Jew who speaks out!” And Rabin?  “A man to trust, a man to do business with.” 

This is a very apt and sad illustration of the difference between Palestinian and Jewish psychological and political identity as groups.
Naseem illustrates an attitude seen again and again in Palestinians. Despite being the incontestable victims of the Jews, the Palestinians have always, year after year and decade after decade, not just given the Jews the benefit of the doubt but continued seeing them as a group of human beings, many incomprehensibly cruel but some of them GOOD.
They invest their hopes time and again in one then another &quot;good&quot; jew who sketches any gesture of sympathy and understanding. When their hopes are dashed they go on seeking and finding another. The good jew is the hope.

The Jews on the other hand, despite not just &#039;owing&#039; the Palestinians the land they stole but being their killers, jailers and tormentors see the Palestinians as EVIL and are convinced nothing good can ever come from them; on the contrary they suspect them of planning the oft-repeated forced swimming in the sea.
Is it because deep down the Jews are aware of the magnitude of their culpability and believe that is how Palestinians SHOULD feel about them?  Is it because they, themselves, never seem able to forgive?
Or is it that Palestinians like any other Goyim are always the enemy to be watched and when feasible squashed for that always elusive &#039;security.&#039;]]></description>
