Interesting ideas. There are many Jews who (to some degree or another)
deny the identity of the Palestinians as a separate and unique people;
how does that fit in with what you're saying?

Because the bulk of people who call themselves Palestinians
either are terrorists or support terrorism (polls say 70%).

Okay, so I stated that harshly, & many of them may have said
"Oh, yes, Mr. Terrorist asking me this question & who has a gun
to my baby's head, you bet I support you! Put me down for a
donation while you're at it!" And many of them are brainwashed,
because very little can get in that isn't PA approved, but it all
works out pretty much the same.

While I'm not arguing with what you're saying, I'm not sure I see how
that addresses my question.

So far, the discussion has been about how/why Jews are persecuted,
and one of the reasons given was how we were easily identified.
I certainly thought you were saying that jews *don't* think Palestinians
have a separate identity, & yet don't like them (okay, so if I read that
in, I apologize), but I was giving a reason why.
