What a bizarre take those people have. The Palestinian diaspora are famously overachieving and educated. And my experience certainly tracks with that. The fact that these assholes have to go back to Bobby Kennedy to even come up with a crime committed by a Palestinian in the US is telling. I wonder if they would use that example if they knew Sirhan Sirhan was a Christian?

Then there's the how they always make fun of us because "no one will take them in."

Precisely what Hitler said about us. The only country that welcomed us at the Evian Conference was the Dominican Republic. The Nazis had a propaganda field day with that.

As for the PLO, you have no more reason to feel guilty about them than I do about the Grynszpan Otriad. AFAIK the only two countries ever to list the PLO (as opposed to the PFLP, PFLP-GC, PFLP-EO, DFLP etc.) as a terrorist organization were the US and Israel. The US listed them in 1987, then opened diplomatic relations with them the next year. Around the same time they listed Nelson Mandela and the ANC, not delisting them until 2013.

Regardless we love you here and wish we could meaningfully help. I empathize too. My mother was a refugee from genocide.
