I just didn't happen to see any of that. I saw a community built upon the family unit, and they were very strong, caring families. I do try not to be collectivist as much as possible. I saw a group of individuals, many, but nonetheless, I didn't meet each and every Palestinian who has ever lived. I'm sure there are some whose company I would not have enjoyed as much. But hey, I know some less than stellar folks here in the US of A, too. I would hope the world would not judge the entire nation based on the actions of a few. I try very hard to reciprocate.
I have nothing whatsoever against Israelis, but I'm growing really tired of the seemingly endless claims that they are a people somehow superior to Palestinians.
