Palestinians do not exist as a nation, an ethnicity, and certainly not as a country
What exists is Palestinianism: a violent, masochistic, Arab-supremacist death cult whose defining purpose is not building a Palestinian state, but destroying the Jewish one.
Remove the seething hatred for Israel, and the entire identity collapses.
Born in what used to be the British Mandate for Palestine? Then most Israeli Jews are also “Palestinians.”
An Arab born there? Go tell an Israeli Druze or Bedouin that he is Palestinian. I do not recommend doing it from arm’s length.
Holding a PA passport? Then there are no “Palestinian refugees” and no “Palestinian diaspora.”
Every supposedly objective definition collapses under the slightest scrutiny. The only consistent definition is ideological: a Palestinian is someone who subscribes to Palestinianism — the belief that Jewish sovereignty is an intolerable historical mistake and that Israel must eventually be eliminated.
That is why every peace process fails.
You cannot negotiate Palestinianism into accepting Israel, because the rejection of Israel is Palestinianism.
You cannot separate Palestinianism from the fantasy of driving the Jews into the sea, because without that fantasy there is nothing left.
You don’t beat Nazism by making peace with Nazism. You beat Nazism by ending Nazism.
Palestinianism deserves exactly the same treatment.
The denazification of Germany took decades, but it succeeded. The depalestinization of Gaza and Judea and Samaria may take even longer.
But there will be no peace until Palestinianism ceases to exist.
