@Highway66 said: Which is correct and why?
(a)
In the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, the refusal of each side to acknowledge each other as a legitimate national movement is closer to the heart of the problem than is any other issue.
(b)
In the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, the refusal of each side to acknowledge another as a legitimate national movement is closer to the heart of the problem than is any other issue.
Option B: The idea is that both consider themselves legitimate and not the other and that's causing the problem. Option A uses "each other" which makes both illegitimate..which i think is not consistent with the sense of the sentence.
