Arab (Palestinian) terror attacks started long before the so called “occupied territories” in 1967 and long before the establishment of Israel in 1948.
There are poor people all over the world. Do they all engage in terror activities?
Most Israelis were extremely poor during the1800's and 1900th, yet they worked hard to improve their lives, instead of complaining and accusing everybody none -stop for their situation.
What you do, not as bluntly as BIB, is apologize for the Palestinian murderous behavior.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The UN and especially the HRC is a sad farce.
“Yes obviously and at the time it the terror attacks were caused by somthing else- the Refugee problem. Infiltration (early terrorism) was a direct consequence of the displacement and dispossession of around 700,000 Palestinians in the course of the 1948 war, and the motives behind it were largely social and economic rather that political or military. Infact the best available estimate states that during the 1949-1956 period 90 percent or more infiltrations were motivated by social and economic concerns.”
“to stop infiltration Israel adopted a 'free fire' policy- in other words shoot first and ask questions later- which killed between 3000-5000 Palestinians- the majority of them unarmed. At the time Israel was unwilling to resolve the refugee problem- the right of return or compensation as dictated by international law. “
What you do, not as bluntly as BIB, is apologize for the Palestinian murderous behavior.
Indecently, 6 rockets were fired yesterday from Gaza, 3 today so far.
Don't whine when IDF retaliates .
Oh, I can't wait for the dummies to announce: “HAMAS is Israel's creation”

"witnesses say"
ok, real hard evidence there.
riiiiiiiight.
AS the founder of Human Rights Watch, its active chairman for 20 years and now founding chairman emeritus, I must do something that I never anticipated: I must publicly join the group’s critics.
“Leaders of Human Rights Watch know that Hamas and Hezbollah chose to wage war from densely populated areas, deliberately transforming neighborhoods into battlefields. They know that more and better arms are flowing into both Gaza and Lebanon and are poised to strike again. And they know that this militancy continues to deprive Palestinians of any chance for the peaceful and productive life they deserve. Yet Israel, the repeated victim of aggression, faces the brunt of Human Rights Watch’s criticism”
“Joe Stork, formerly Advocacy Director, and now Deputy Director of HRW's Middle East and North African division, revealed his radical anti-Israel leanings as early the 1970, when he and several others started MERIP, the Middle East Research Information Project, because they deemed existing leftist critiques of U.S. support for Israel "inadequate.". Stork wrote about the "revolutionary potential" of Palestinian violence and of "liberating Palestine" through the "struggle against (Zionist) imperialism." He took part in a "Zionism and Racism" conference in Iraq under Saddam Hussein and has repeatedly attempted to delegitimize Israel in his writings and pronouncements, with false characterizations and allegations.”
What caused the pogroms in 1920, 1921, 1929, 1936, 1937, 1938,1939...and on and on.
Why is it that after 1967 Israel offered 'land for peace', yet the Arab world response in Khartoum was: “no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiation with Israel” also known as the “ three nos”. I know I know....poor Palestinians and refugees.
Anyway, according to you which sources can be used? I used Amnesty International as well- another respectable impartial source.
A combination of a fear of diversity, racism, increased Jewish immigration, Jewish retaliation and fear of Zionism. The same thing that caused the cronalla riots in Australia (targeted at Arabs) and multiple hate crimes in the West. So because a few bigots pursue violent acts suddenly every Arab is a murdering racist?
The Palestinians refused 97% of the territories how many times?
