The answer, if they have one, often comes down to their belief that the land -- including Israel proper -- 'really belongs' to the Arabs.

But it is true that both these groups stand in the way of a 'two-state solution' based on the 67' lines. The 'demonization' of the Jews of Judea and Samaria thus comes out of 'good intentions' the intention to have Israel live in Peace. Unfortunately, here the road to Hell is truly paved with good intention, as the Palestinians have no real interest in such Peace.
