So, no examples of Dill excusing Hamas. 

Just want to make sure I understand you before I respond. So two questions:

1. Are you saying that the hostility of the Palestinians and Arab world towards Israel is NOT really because Israel drove hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes in a terror campaign to create its 1948 borders? It's NOT because the dispossession continues in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, and NOT because 5 million Palestinians are under military control without basic human rights?

Like NOT harming all those millions would have made no difference in hostility towards them?  So it's not a "cause"? 

2. Are you saying that "the Arab world" would not, at this moment, get behind a single- or two-state solution, both of which would "destroy Israel" but leave all Israeli citizens alive and part of a new state arrangement? 

That's what I'm hearing, but I want to be sure.
