Aloofi, I find that experience surprising. In my experience, the kind of people who take enough interest in foreign affairs to have an opinion on the israeli/ palestinian issue other than "damned if I know" or "leave 'em all to it" are generally intelligent and informed enough to realise that the average israeli has little to do with any palestinian persecution and is probably even opposed to it. They would certainly be aware of the hypocrisy of automatically labelling all Israelis as discriminatory.

Of course you tend to word your opinions rather more strongly than most...
