Every group has its good and bad qualities. And given enough
time, groups can stray from their original values, and mimic
those values around them.
In thinking about Middle East peace, my take is that Israelis and
Palestinianst are far more peace-seeking than their leaders. And
how hard it can be to be a peacemaker.
