One of their assumptions is that if people are treated well,
they will behave in line with their innate “goodness”.
On the flip side, they truly believe that the only reason people behave like the palestinians do is that “they feel threatened”.
This is the opposite of reality, as we of the other worldview know. People are innately sinful and fallen and will behave accordingly unless restrained by something.
I believe this is the origin of the problem because today people have rejected belief in the sin nature of man. Even people who purport to be Christians believe that their wonderful love will bring out the best in people. It is just everywhere and it is absolutely gooey like an ice cream cone on a July day. It really is vanity and not true Christianity.
