Apparently Arabs are not to be assigned collective blame for their attacks, while Israeli Jews receive full, collective blame. No one talked about blame anyway, but the cause and effect of the historical pattern of Arabs killing Jews in the region. > I've pretty much always seen the conflict as having multiple sources of causality, both in its origins and in its reasons continuing to this day This is an evasion when the question became tough. Now it's about "multiple sources of causality" when it's clear it was not Zionism or settler-colonialism that caused Arabs to attack Jews. You say "there is plenty of blame to go around", and yet every post of yours exclusively focuses on Israeli and Zionist culpability and Palestinian victimhood, and you seem unable to seriously entertain any mitigating arguments our evidence on behalf of Israel. Disappointing.
