	Palestine Islamic Jihad - Background Information
		According to the Islamic Jihad, a proper reading of the Quran and an understanding of history would lead to the conclusion that Palestine is the focus of the religio-historical confrontation between the Muslims and their eternal enemies, the Jews.
		In the context of this confrontation, the Palestine problem is the core of a Western offensive that began with Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798 and reached its climax in 1918 with the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, which had symbolized Islamic unity.
		Inasmuch as the Jewish presence in Palestine symbolizes Muslim inferiority in the modern age, commitment to Palestine cannot be framed in the narrow confines of Palestinian nationalism.

		PIJ subsequently did its best to blow Arafat's Oslo peace process off course - conducting some devastating attacks such as the bombing of a military bus stop near Netanya in January 1995 and a suicide nail bomb in Tel Aviv in March 1996.

	Review of Islam and Salvation in Palestine: The Islamic Jihad Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		PIJ’s ideological distinction is to portray Palestine as the key to the Muslim world and therefore contend that anti-Zionism is the key to Islam’s success.
		PIJ deems Jews the eternal enemy of Islam and excoriates any form of compromise with them (and so it dismisses Yasir Arafat as someone who, like other Arab rulers, “holds nothing in his hand but a pen to sign with”).
		In short, PIJ differs from Hamas over the intensity of its means (having taken up violence long before Hamas did, though they agree with each other on ends (namely the destruction of Israel).
