The Philadelphia Inquirer recently highlighted comments Shapiro made about Palestinians in a 1993 op-ed when he was a 21-year-old student at the University of Rochester. In the article, Shapiro wrote, “Palestinians will not coexist peacefully. They do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make it successful even with the aid of Israel and the United States. They are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own.” He also expressed skepticism about the Oslo Accords, despite hoping for their success.
