Palestinians' misery self-inflicted by refusal to renounce terrorism

[Herschel]

Palestinian mother of two feigned the need for medical treatment at an Israeli checkpoint. Knowing that Israeli soldiers would come to her aid, she detonated an explosive belt, killing four Israelis and wounding seven others.

In Iraq, the United States has encountered similar deceits. Soon after the Americans entered Baghdad, an Arab terrorist pretended that his car was having mechanical problems. When U.S. soldiers came over to render assistance, the terrorist detonated his explosives, killing several Americans.

Palestinians have a long history of preying on Israel's humanity. Palestinians have often used Red Crescent ambulances to transport terrorists past Israeli checkpoints. In the past three years alone, Palestinian terrorists have been captured at Israeli checkpoints, posing as ambulance drivers, doctors and patients.

Palestinian terror groups have hidden explosive suicide belts under gurneys carrying sick children and in the garments of pregnant women.

As a direct response to these Palestinian abuses of international law and human decency, Israel has been forced to establish checkpoints and search ambulances. Palestinian complaints about what happens at checkpoints should cause us to think of the story of the child who murders his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the judge because he is an orphan.

3. This article is right-on.

If Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah were removed, there would be a cycle of improvement in all conditions on both sides, leading to a Palestinian state.

[Gimel]

10. This is the answer

So many have asked the question, "Which came first?"

Clearly, if Israel removed all checkpoints tomorrow, Palestinian terrorism would surge. Conversely, if Palestinian terrorist organizations like Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah were removed tomorrow, there would be no need for such security measures.

There can be no mistake about it: Palestinian terrorism came first and created the need for security measures. The checkpoints did not cause terror. This is simply a case of cause and effect.


The need for Israel to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks is the cause of the IDF response in the current operation. Why are more Palestinians killed that Israelis, if Israel is not the aggressor? Because Israel does its utmost to protect its citizens, while the Palestinians are victims of the terror campaign that the leadership of the PA allows to take place. Without lifting a finger or sending one patrol of police to arrest the terrorists, Arafat says he "condemns terror attacks on innocent Israelis". Yet he does nothing to stop attack after attack. He encourages his people to resist the efforts of the IDF to find and arrest terrorists. Of course, with this attitude, innocent Palestinians are killed.

[Resistance]

11. Wrong.

More Palestinians are killed because the Israeli military goes on more killing sprees than Palestinian terrorists do.

[Gimel]

12. False

More than twice the number of suicide attacks were prevented in the past three years than succeeded.

The accusation of a "Killing spree" is also false.
