The stories we tell ourselves Tom Friedman is clinically precise in this morning’s Times:
The Palestinians have convinced themselves, with the help of many Arabs and Europeans, that their grievance is so special, so enormous that it isn’t bound by any limits of civilized behavior, and therefore they are entitled to do whatever they want to Israelis. And Israelis have convinced themselves that they are entitled to do virtually anything to stop it.[12:36 PM]

The Palestinian... grievance... isn't bound by any limits of civilized behavior... and Israelis have convinced themselves that they are entitled to do virtually anything to stop it.
