A word Of Torah

This is a little by-point of the website and perhaps should not be contained in this section of the site. They say everything is written in the Torah. Where do we see the situation of the Palestinian - Israeli conflict in the Torah? 

The answer lies in a verse in Deuteronomy 32:21

The Verse states: "They provoked Me with a non-god, angered Me with their vanities; so shall I provoke them with a non-people, with a vile nation shall I anger them."

The meaning of this verse is self explanatory: because the Jews sinned, G-d punishes them through this non-people, who are described as vile.

The Palestinians are the only non-people in the world today, who are "provoking" Israel. Why are they considered vile, however? I feel the answer is as follows:

One of the first commandments written in the Torah, is the one which forbids the taking of ones own life, i.e. suicide. The Palestinians have refined suicide to a fine art, killing not only themselves, but, unfortunately, many people with them. This is, perhaps why they are described as vile: the Bible abhors the taking of ones own life, as the Palestinians do. This may be the explanation of the use of the word, vile.
