There's really only one reason you speak of "our" mythical image and it's the same language that speaks of "Bush's mandate". Menachem Begin was probably right that democracy was a greater enemy of his goals than was Nazi Germany, and from Deir Yassin on to his glorious prime ministership he made clear to the Palestinians what price they would pay for co-operating with jews and subverting his glorious race war. The palestinians are always pretended a monolith and each peaceful act of one faction was met with increased settlement land grabs or other abuses that drove some other faction to respond; and then reprisals against the moderate factions so that the nation was polarized as much as it was disenfranchised, stripped of property and herded into-what's the newspeak word, resettlement?-camps.
This has nothing to do with AIPAC, that's just a red herring to give you libbies something to distract your self with. This is much more fundamental.
