| | + | In what universe should one live to claim that Arab terrorism is the result of the Six Day War? Still, this is what a certified academic claims over the pages of the Haaretz newspaper... |
| | + | |
| | + | In 1834, when the first lovers of Zion were just beginning to be born, the Arabs of the Galilee went on a pogrom against the Jews of Safed, in which they raped, looted, burned, destroyed and murdered the Jews of Safed and their property for 33 days. All community property is looted. |
| | + | |
| | + | According to the book "The Line of Plowing and Fire" [http://opus.co.il/product_info.php?products_id=1086], which reviews the history of 150 years of conflict (and according to other historians), Arab hostilities against the Jews of the country began only later, in 1860, following the construction of the first Jewish neighborhood outside the Old City walls, Mishkenot Sha'ananim. |
| | + | |
| | + | According to the historian Hillel Cohen [http://simania.co.il/bookdetails.php?item_id=969110] - who ignores the riots of 1921 [http://lib.cet.ac.il/pages/item.asp?item=2039] (1921, 46 years before the "occupation"), which began in Jaffa and spread to other settlements in which dozens of Jews were murdered - the root of the conflict and terrorism appeared later, in 1929, 38 years before the "occupation" ), Then, I recalled, the Arabs murdered and wounded hundreds of Jews, mainly in Hebron and Safed, in brutal and horrific acts of terrorism reminiscent of what is happening these days around our borders. |
| | + | |
| | + | The year 1936 (31 years before the "occupation") can also be defined as the year in which organized Palestinian terror against the Jews of the country was born, as part of the great Arab uprising that erupted in the form of indiscriminate Arab terror following the rise of Eastern European Jews to Germany. |
| | + | |
| | + | The principle is understandable and one can skip a bit, straight to the establishment of the PLO terrorist organization in January 1964, which aimed at the armed resistance to Israel through terrorism against civilians, three and a half years before the "occupation." |
| | + | |
| | + | To claim that "the occupation is the creator of terrorism and not the other way around" indicates either ignorance or a severe lack of intellectual integrity.</blockquote></ref> |
