"Describing an entire ethnic group as “belligerent” and “battle-minded”, as you did in your article, is inherently bigoted, and these statements would be recognized as such were they made about any population. Furthermore, your article is full of paternalistic language about Palestinians, stating that they require a “babysitter”, and need “teaching” that “hatred and warring is not the answer”. These statements must be recognized for what they are: racism."

I agree 100% with your statements here.
Out of curiosity would you also say that calling Israel "Beligerent" and "Battle-minded" would also be equally bigoted? I myself side more with palestine than Israel in the grand scheme, but would find characterizing either group that way would be reductive at best.
