I met some of these pacifist Jews and they are not stupid. They told me many horror stories of how Palestinian soldiers use children to protect rocket positions and so on. Nevertheless, they say the current policy of the state of Israel is against the best interest of Israel in the long run and obviously doesn't work, causing bloodshed on both sides. With some good will on the part of Israel, at least there is a chance things could be improved. Is this self-hatred? I'd say it simply being human.
