Fascinating question. In the current middle eastern political climate, do Palestinins need Israelis and do Israelis need Palestinians since they deny each other the most. My response will be yes, they need each other the most. I think denial comes from lack of knowledge, fear of rejection, and lack of exposure to each others' way of life. Edward Said, when describing othering groups of people as a means of conquest, and Fanon, describing the oppressed becoming the oppressor are describing current middle eastern societies. Perhaps we deny the entity the most, because of how desirable it appears to us.
