Magical thinking
And yet we are meant to negotiate as if with rational people. The "Palestinians" do not have grievances; they have witchcraft accusations.
Palestinian Authority Arabs have made a variety of accusations against Israel over the years, from distributing bubble gum that corrupts Muslim youth to attacking with trained pigs. The latest rumor making the rounds among Arabs in Samaria is that Israelis are training snakes to attack innocent farmers, according to the Bethlehem-based Maan news, whichis closely associated with the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority.

Weird. I saw an article a few years ago about Israeli farmers teaching Jordanian farmers how to attract barn owls to their farms, to help with rodent control. Turned out the Arabs were superstitious about owls and were not sure about the idea, but at least in that instance did not create yet another Jewish conspiracy meme.
