OHHHHH darn! Only Talmudists can use that handy little prayer right? Here is how it reads:

"ALL VOWS, OBLIGATIONS, OATHS OR ANTHEMS, PLEDGES OF ALL NAMES, WHICH WE HAVE VOWED, SWORN, DEVOTED, OR BOUND OURSELVES TO, FROM THIS DAY OF ATONEMENT, UNTIL THE NEXT DAY OF ATONEMENT (WHOSE ARRIVAL WE HOPE FOR IN HAPPINESS) WE REPENT, AFOREHAND, OF THEM ALL, THEY SHALL ALL BE DEEMED ABSOLVED, FORGIVEN, ANNULLED, VOID AND MADE OF NO EFFECT; THEY SHALL NOT BE BINDING, NOR HAVE ANY POWER; THE VOWS SHALL NOT BE RECKONED AS VOWS, THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATORY, NOR THE OATHS CONSIDERED AS OATHS." ~ THE KOL NIDRE

Good comment. It should also be remembered that native Palestinian/Arab Jews, who comprised 10% of all Jews in Palestine in 1948, were vehemently anti-Zionist. Indeed, prior to the massive immigration of foreign Jews (only 30% of whom took out citizenship) under the umbrella of the British Mandate, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, Jews and Druze lived together in harmony and peace. Many Jewish women married Palestinian Muslims and retained their faith. The lies that zionists have spread regarding the status of Jews in the Arab world as a whole is another story that needs to be told.

a) in 1930, a Palestinian Arab delegation to the British colonial secretary demanded a parliament be set up in Palestine "elected by the people in proportion to their numbers, irrespective of race or creed." The demand was denied by the colonial secretary, basically, because to establish the "national home for Jews in Palestine," i.e. to establish the Zionist colonies in Palestine required helping the Zionists in many ways including giving Jewish colonists superior political power.

b) Establishing a state with equal rights regardless of creed was the PLO stance at least until they agreed to the so-called 2-state solution in 1988.

c) A Jew, Ilan Halevi, served as vice minister of foreign affairs for the PLO delegation to the Madrid Conference in 1991. That's well before any Israeli Arabs served as ministers to any Israeli government.

You live in a fantasy world, unable to distinguish between the occupied and the occupier. To the best of my knowledge, no other occupied people have been forced to negotiate an end to their occupation with their occupier. Was Kuwait expected to negotiate with Iraq? For that matter, was France expected to negotiate when it was occupied by Germany in WWII?
Actually, going back to 1988, when Arafat and the PLO formally accepted UNSC Res. 242, they agreed to recognize Israel in accordance with international law (e.g., the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Fourth Geneva Convention, all signed by Israel) within its pre-1967 war boundaries. Israel rebuffed this peace overture as well as others, including the 2002 Arab League's Beirut Initiative, agreed to by the Palestinians. Get educated.
