Palestinian values
Re “A Disorienting Loss for Fatah,” Feb. 7
I was baffled by your statement, also expressed frequently in Times editorials and letters, that “recognizing Israel and backing a two-state solution matches the beliefs of most Palestinians.” The evidence given in the article, and the recent elections, prove otherwise. Why would Palestinians elect a group whose primary purpose is the death of every Jew living on Middle Eastern soil if they didn’t believe it? The choice for leader of the younger-generation Fatah was a man serving five life sentences for murdering Israeli citizens. Please don’t confuse your values with those of “most Palestinians.”
