    L’époustouflant argumentaire israélien : Nous aliénons profondément le Palestinien mais il ne se révolterait pas s’il ne subissait pas de lavage de cerveau,

    Al-Monitor: And we’re not to blame for that, at least in part?

    Elkin: We also share part of the blame. We can’t ignore what is happening on the Palestinian street. A Palestinian student who completed a degree in computer science can do nothing with that degree, so he’ll work for us in construction or maintenance instead. This happens after he has been brainwashed to hate us by the educational system for the past 20 years. It is, therefore, understandable that at some point he would prefer to pick up a knife and commit suicide, instead of continuing to live in such desperate circumstances. The Israeli right was also blinded. We thought that we could sweep everything that is happening in Palestinian society under the rug, and that was a mistake. In East Jerusalem, we must insist on governability, but at the same time we must also invest in the area, improve employment opportunities and expand economic horizons in order to offer hope. That is no less important than our intelligence and defense mechanisms.
