Certainly people who are mistreated are likely to become angry. I don't know why some people bear mistreatment patiently, while others become filled with murderous rage. If anyone can discover the answer, I hope they will include it in a Wikipedia article.
One thing I'm interested in, is how much the anger of Palestinian nationalists is due to mistreatment by Israel -- compared to how much is frustration because of rejection by Islamic nations to assimilate refugees -- and also how much is due to rabble-rousing by groups dedicated to Israel's destruction. How's that for a "dangerous question"?

Can people now see why these articles are a big problem for Wikipedia? This is how long it took for a meta discussion to get nasty on specific points.
I'm in favour of just removing the articles and stating that Wikipedia at this date is unable to provide a NPOV, even after a year of trying.
