The Palestinians aren't any more subsumable under a single 'they' than
any other people. The 'they' who kidnapped the young Israeli soldier
(and wouldn't 'captured' be a more appropriate word in a theatre of
war?) are surely not the same 'they' who dream of the end of their long
nightmare and just want (as do we all) to raise their families in peace
and prosperity. What Israel (and I mean the government, not every
Israeli) has been and is doing to undermine any Palestinian efforts at
economic or political self-sustainability is condemned by everyone
except the US.
