Since and even before the founding of Israel in 1948, there has been continuous conflict, much of its violence, between Israel and the Palestinians. Large portions of each side deny the political legitimacy of the other side. This essay pursues the notion that the Palestinian position in its essence does not accept Israel, in either its current or possibly revised territorial extent, as legitimate. This posture has increasingly viewed the conflict in religious and even existential terms: Israel as a Jewish state has no right to exist in any form. The Islamic terror organization that controls Gaza, Hamas, stipulates this very position in its Covenant while the Palestinian Authority, in its occupation of substantial parts of Judea and Samaria, has consistently refused opportunities to establish its own state if doing so means or even implied that Israel’s continued existence must be recognized by an independent Palestine. The essay’s conclusion suggests that the Palestinians, a community forged by hate and resentment with no national history or culture to speak of, is neither successfully capable of administering a state nor deserving of one until or unless it divests itself of the toxic impetus of hatred and focus, instead, constructing a political democracy able and willing to live alongside its neighbor.
