#1 What you write is correct but there is one thing that is rarely said by anyone.
Has Israel done anything to harm Palestinian Arabs?
The answer is yes. What did it do?
It accepted and supported the Oslo agreement.
When Judea and Samaria and Gaza were under full Israeli occupation, these areas were prosperous and their economies were growing rapidly. There was optimism in the air and prospects of joint projects and continued growth throughout Palestine.
OSlo put a stop to that growth. A kleptocratic regime with no understanding of or sympathy with the Arab inhabitants took over and began to wreck these areas. Arafat and his thugs represented mainly themselves and if anyone else, the "refugees" and their descendants in other countries, who resented this prosperity. The local Arabs were shocked to find that the Arafat goverment was much worse for them than the Israeli occupation had been, and not only that, even saying this would be a death sentence for the sayer and possibly his family.
Hamas won the election because it was the only option for Arabs other than the regime they had come to hate.
Those who dreamed up Oslo never once thought of its effects on the people who were those who suffered the most from it.
And they continue to suffer.
Do the left wingers who negotiated this and foisted it on Palestine feel any guilt about this? Do they even recognize their ghastly folly?

Do lefties anywhere ever do that?
