This is a textbook case of anti-Arab bigotry.

The fact is that Palestinians are resisting today exactly what Jewish
people have more than once resisted in their history: being uprooted
from their land.

How can a person at once celebrate the resistance demonstrated by the
Jews and denounce (indeed hate) the Palestinians for doing the same?
Simple: abandon reason and resort to racism. Well, such a person says,
if Palestinians do so, it's because there is something so peculiar and
devious about the "Arab mind" that it requires a psychiatrist's attention.

Such brazen racism deserves the contempt and condemnation of all
decent people.
