A couple of people I know have commented on similarities between the Palestinians and Native Americans, saying they've been watching the Ken Burns series on Buffalo. I haven't seen it. A more powerful group wants your land. They want you gone.
Which seems to happen, no matter what. You cooperate you lose. You fight you lose. But if you fight them you get killed as Native Americans did when they struck back. Like buffalo. The shoot you down. They shoot you down en masse. And it's your fault.
I think we've got some Manifest Destiny going on in the Middle East. And the Palestinians know it.
