巴勒斯坦浪漫主义美化作为以色列统治受害人的巴勒斯坦人，矛头指向以色列国内巴勒斯坦人最多只能享有二等公民的待遇，并且大量援引占领区内发生的压迫事件，包括以色列“安全围墙”的影响。
Palestine romanticism glorifies the Palestinians as the victims of Israel’s rule, points to the treatment of Israeli Palestinians as at best second-class citizens, and cites the many incidents of oppression in the occupied territories, including the effects of Israel’s “security fence.”
