You seem to throw all nationalism to the trash bin without differentiating between valid national pride and not a valid one. Zionism may be an artificial type of national fervor because it is based on myths. Palestinian nationalism is valid because Palestinians are indeed a displaced people and there fore their national pride is justified. Until the wrongs that were done to them in the name of Zionist nationalism are dealt with they will naturally be embracing of their nationality which is as old as the ancient olive trees that used to grace the landscape.
