  palestinian terrorism information
On the surface, the popular definition of 'terrorism' represents a shift from previous means of defining an enemy from territorial or cultural disputes over ideology or religion, to the acts of violence against the public.
The use of the terms terrorism and terrorist are politically weighted, and are often used to polarizing effect, where 'terrorism' is simply a relativist term for the violence committed by an enemy, from the point of view of the attacked.
In his view the causes of terrorism include attempts to gain or consolidate power either by instilling fear in the population to be controlled, or by stimulating another group into becoming a hardened foe, thereby setting up a polarizing us-versus-them paradigm (also see nationalism and fascism).

 Israel's unexpected victory over terrorism
Israel's triumph over the Palestinian attempt to unravel its society is the result of a systematic assault on terrorism that emerged only fitfully over the past four years.
Though abuses against civilians have occurred — over 600 are now being investigated by the IDF and many more have obviously gone unreported — Israel proves that a war against terrorism can be fought while preserving basic democratic principles.
Israel could also lose if Byzantine domestic politics prevent the emergence of a national unity government capable of implementing decisions, such as unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, that are backed by the Israeli majority.

We argue here, from surveys conducted in Israel from 2000 to 2003—and supported by surveys conducted in the United States immediately after September 11 and a year later—that generalized trust is a missing link in the story of terrorism and its effects.
Terrorism is a form of psychological warfare (Huddy, Feldman, Taber and Lahav, 2002), in which one of the central goals is to frighten through acts of random brutality and violence while gaining broad publicity despite its limited targets (Jacobson and Bar-Tal 1995).

As the mastermind of the second Palestinian intifada of September 2000, according to Palestinian sources, his influence over the scope and timing of the violence is extensive and even decisive.
It is imperative that Israel's moves against Arafat be seen against the backdrop of cumulative acts that he has committed, and not just omissions in complying with his commitments to fight terrorism.
What Israel has put together on Arafat's involvement in terrorism is only the tip of the iceberg; these are only the connections that have been documented in captured materials.

 Israel and the occupied territories
Israel is a parliamentary democracy with an active multiparty system in which a wide range of political views are represented.
Israel continues to control certain civil functions and is responsible for all security in portions of the occupied territories categorized as Area C, which includes the Israeli settlements and 4 percent of the total West Bank Palestinian population.
Israel's overall human rights record in the occupied territories was poor; although the situation improved slightly during the first 9 months of the year, it worsened in several areas late in the year, mainly due to the sustained violence that began in September.

Recognizing the synergies between these components, Israel's state and nonstate adversaries have learned that attrition is the optimal staging ground for eventual annihilation of the Jewish State.

 Funding Terrorism in Northern Israel?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
So much for the illusion that Israel's May 2000 redeployment to the 1949 armistice lines with Lebanon would facilitate international and even Lebanese recognition for Israel's northern border and salve the appetite of Palestinian Arabs or Islamic fundamentalists to attack Israel.
Few people realize is that the lines which demarcate Israel and Lebanon are not "borders"; they are only "armistice lines" that Israel and Lebanon agreed to after the not-yet-resolved 1948 war, after the combined military forces Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia tried to eradicate the nascent State of Israel.
The unresolved 1948 war simmers with Israel's other neighboring countries who now host 4 million Palestinian Arab refugees and their descendants who wallow in the squalor of UN Arab refugee camps, under the UN specious mandate of the "right of return" to 1948 Arab villages that no longer exist in present-day Israel.

The Institute on Religion and Democracy, a monitor of the mainline denominations, says that of the 197 human-rights criticisms issued by the churches between 2000 and 2003, only 31 percent were aimed at countries other than the United States or Israel.
Israel was chastised for its treatment of Palestinians, particularly its border policies with Gaza and the West Bank, and incursions into the disputed territories to root out terrorists.
Applying that premise to Israel, the report says, "It is true that many Arab Christians share the grievances of their Muslim compatriots against Israel.

After winning the war in six days, Israel immediately accepted UN Security Council Resolution 242, which mandated the return of certain - but not all - territories captured during the war in exchange for guarantees of peace, recognition and territorial integrity from the surrounding states.
Israel thus had no peace partner with which to exchange land for peace.

Since the second intifada was sparked in September 2000 by the provocative visit by Ariel Sharon (then an opposition leader) to the Temple Mount, sacred to Muslims, in Jerusalem, more than 1,000 Israelis have been killed by terrorist action - far more than in any comparable period since Israel was created.
The wall has no chance of halting terrorism, even though $1bn is being squandered on it at a time when unemployment is at record heights, destitution is hitting large numbers of the Israeli underclass, tourist revenue is spiraling downwards and the economy is almost in freefall.

 02 Octomer 2000: JIHAD FATWA AGAINST ISRAEL
To ally or to seek assistance of non-Muslim states is prohibited, a sin and a grave crime not to mention a betrayal of Allah (swt), His Messenger and all the believers.
The Fatwa is therefore JIHAD against the Jewish occupiers, their government, army, interests, airports and institutions and it has been given by the most prominent scholars of Islam today because of the occupation of Muslim land and aggression against the Muslims of Palestine.
ERRI counter-terrorist analysts say that this fatwa appears to legitimize terrorist attacks against almost any Israeli government target and may be a precursor to attacks outside the areas of current conflict.
