The determination not to hold Palestinians or their leadership morally accountable for terrorism or their commonplace antisemitism is a repugnant form of neocolonial mentality in which the Palestinians are patronized.

As opposed to, for example, Northern Ireland in the early 1990s (proxy bombing in Derry). This suicide bombing was widely denounced and ultimately stopped by the Irish nationalist community.
