MIGHTY ISRAEL EXPECTED TO "GIVE IN A LITTLE BIT" FOR PEACE

Bethlehem mayor Dr Victor Batarseh explains why Palestinians need do nothing in attempting to secure peace:

Our side, we are the weaker side, we are the occupied, we don't have an army, while Israel is the, has the most powerful army in the Middle East. It is a nuclear power, it is one of the first five powerful armies in the world, Israel, which is the mightiest, should give in a little bit to the Palestinian people.

By "give in a little bit" Batarseh apparently means Israelis should all die:

The 90-strong crowd at the event applauded when a member of the audience called for "the complete destruction of Israel".

Just in case you're curious, mighty Israel is number 29 on this list of comparative military strength.
