It is apparent to all that both sides here have practised terrorism on each other for many years, we hardly need a reminder of the situation Terrorism is attempting to terrorize a population through random killings to achieve some political end. The Palestinians have practiced this on the Israelis. The Israelis have not practiced this on the Palestinians. You can say they have occupied, installed curfews, controlled the lives of the Palestinians - but they have not terrorized them. The Israelis do not run out to shoot up bunches of random Palestinians. They do not blow up Palestinian buses, or fill Red Crescent ambulances with explosives. They try to kill or stop those Palestinians who are either in the act of attacking them or planning to execute attacks against them. This is not the same thing, and I wish you would use words for what they mean. obvious truth that violence was implicit in the zionist invasion of muslim lands The didn't invade, they bought land at high prices from willing sellers. Might I point out that the Arabs did not control the land, the Turks did, and those same lands had been Jewish long before they were Muslim, and still contained Jews? in modern times, Jerusalem has had a Jewish majority or plurality since the 18th century. Who wrote the law that land must never change hands, even between buyer and seller? One would think from the fuss that Israel was the only case of peoples moving, or a minority becoming a majority, or sovereignty changing in the last century. A most cursory glance at the history of the 20th century will tell you that actual history is quite different.
