refuse to recognize the Palestinians as a people. <p.That's because as a seperate ethnic or religious entity they don't exist...the term is too fluid. Any half maad islamic who wants to blow himself up and kill innocents in the process can call himself a palestinian. There never was a Palestine and there is no ethnicity known as palestinian.

Well, the Greek historian Herodotus in 450 BC thought there was such a thing as Palestine and Palestinians. Can't you keep up?
(So did Chaucer, Shakespeare and Ben Franklin)
You might know that if you had bothered to do as this author has and STUDY the conflict.

There are almost 3 million people in the Occupied Territories calling themselves Palestinians. If they aren't Palestinians then does that mean that they are Israelis? Whatever they call themselves they also call the West Bank home. That seems to be a big part of the problem.
