There is no word in Hebrew for dignity, he quoted a friend observing
once. The Arab world has long felt deeply inferior, and Israelis are
basically telling Arabs that they don’t suffer from an inferiority
complex but are indeed inferior, Halevy said. “The problem we have had
over the years has been that they have sought dignity and the last thing
we ever thought of was addressing them in a manner that gave them a
feeling of some dignity.”
