Jews and Palestinians are brothers.

The study, published in the May 9 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that Jewish men shared a common set of genetic signatures with non-Jews from the Middle East, including Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese, and these signatures diverged significantly from non-Jewish men outside of this region. Consequently, Jews and Arabs share a common ancestor and are more closely related to one another than to non-Jews from other areas of the world. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/05/000509003653.htm

All of this is very interesting, but I'm still not a fan theocracy, be it Jewish, Muslim or Christian. I use to work with a Palestinian Christian and he had no kind words Israel. Is he a bigot, most likely, but not any more than many of the Settlers in Occupied Palestine.
I'm a fan of equal rights, whether it be Israel or Persia. I don't consider any religion or race superior to any other and a big fan of the Universality of Mankind.
