One often hears that, as the stronger party, Israel bears the lion's share of the responsibility for the fact that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict persists. However, I argue that (a) although the Palestinians are the weaker party, their politics and culture also play highly significant roles in perpetuating the conflict--as they also must in solving it, if that is ever to happen--and (b) advocates of peace and justice who ignore Palestinians' agency are, in addition to being condescending towards Palestinians, setting themselves up for failure.
