 Terrorism against Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Within months, Israel was again the target of a wave of attacks (at that time mainly consisting of, but not limited to bombings), that originated either in the Palestinian population within the occupied territories, or in Jordan, which was no longer able to contain them.
However, Israel's prolonged stay and Arab and Iranian support had led to the strengthening of the Shi'ite-Muslim group Hizballah that began to execute attacks against Israeli and Western targets, military and non-military alike.
During Israel's recent military operations begun in the late spring of 2003 into the West Bank (including the town of Jenin) the Israeli government has obtained and published thousands of pages of internal Palestinian Authority documents which demonstrate that the PA has been covertly funding and directing, many of the suicide bombings.

 Israel, country, Asia. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Israel’s chief trading partners are the United States and nations in the European Union, especially Britain and Germany.
The state of Israel is the culmination of nearly a century of activity in Zionism.
Israel eventually yielded to strong pressure from the United States, the USSR, and the United Nations and removed its troops from Sinai in Nov., 1956, and from Gaza by Mar., 1957, as UN forces were sent to the Sinai and Gaza to keep peace between Egypt and Israel.

 "Terrorism and Racism: The Aftermath of Durban," by Anne F. Bayefsky
The Durban phenomenon was repeated in the aftermath of September 11 as allegations of racism and displays of antisemitism abounded from terrorists, apologists of terrorism in the media, and at the 2001 UN General Assembly deliberations on terrorism.
The terrorism debate that took place in the fall of 2001 at the UN General Assembly further evidences the programmatic agenda and its political and legal implications.
Member states were confronted with the subject of terrorism at a number of levels: the general debate in the Assembly, the negotiation of a Comprehensive Convention Against Terrorism in a working group of the Sixth Committee, and specific terrorism resolutions.

 JURIST - Israel: Israeli law, legal research, human rights
Israel is divided into six districts, administration of which is coordinated by the Ministry of Interior.
Israel concluded peace treaties with Egypt in 1979 and with Jordan in 1994, and a series of agreements with the Palestinians beginning in 1993.
During 2001, both sides attempted to implement recommendations contained in the Tenet Agreement and the Mitchell Report, both of which were designed to reduce the violence and return the parties to negotiations.

 Israel and the occupied territories
As a result of the 1967 war, Israel occupies the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights (the human rights situation in the occupied territories is discussed in the annex appended to this report).
Israel continues to control certain civil functions and is responsible for all security in portions of the occupied territories categorized as Area C. In the West Bank, this constitutes more than 61 percent of the land, and approximately 4 percent of the total West Bank Palestinian population, including the Israeli settlements.
Israel's overall human rights record in the occupied territories was poor, continuing a deterioration that began in late 2000, after the beginning of the sustained violence of the Intifada.

 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.
Israel has not resorted to the indiscriminate bombings, mass expulsions, blockades of food and fuel that modern states have frequently adopted in wartime.
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.

 The Israeli-Palestinian conflict   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It is very hard though to sympathise with the Palestinians because of: (a) their absurd and immoral goals (destroying Israel, setting up an Islamic state), and: (b) their immoral conduct of the war (deliberately killing civilians).
It is usually forgotten that Israel is home to over 1 million descendants of Jews expelled from the Arab countries around the Middle East.
Hence, a war against a democracy will be covered in a lot more detail than a war against a non-democracy.

 UNODC - Terrorism
By its very nature, terrorism is an assault on the fundamental principles of law, order, human rights, and the peaceful settlement of disputes upon which the United Nations is established.
These mandates, carried out by UNODC's Terrorism Prevention Branch (TPB) within the Division for Treaty Affairs (DTA), include the provision of technical assistance and advisory services to countries in their fight against terrorism.
UNODC conducts these activities within the framework of its project on " strengthening the legal regime against terrorism", which focuses on the provision of direct legal advisory services to requesting States for incorporating the relevant provisions contained in the 12 universal anti-terrorism conventions and protocols into national legislation.

 Israel Proposes International Conference Against Terrorism -- 09/24/2001
Beker drew a distinction between the coalition, which is being pulled together for an initial military strike against the terrorists and the proposed conference.
Israel will likely not be part of the coalition currently being formed, although it has many years experience in combating terrorism, Israeli leaders have said.
It would not be in Israel or the U.S.'s best interest to join such a group because it would limit the U.S. in its ability to garner support from Arab and Muslim nations, Israeli sources have said.

 Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Sharon: US wants Israel to join fight against terrorism
Israel's prime minister, Ariel Sharon, has redoubled his defiance of US pressure to hold ceasefire talks with the Palestinians, saying he would not sacrifice national interests for Washington's desire to forge a broad war coalition.
The fear that Israel could bear the brunt of a backlash against a US-led attack on Afghanistan or another Muslim country has taken root on a popular level.
Mr Sharon may also be losing confidence in Israel's efforts to persuade Washington of its common cause with the US, and that it faces in Mr Arafat the local equivalent of the Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden.

 Against Israel, Terrorism is Kosher (Evelyn Gordon) October, 2001
Never mind that the 130 civilian victims of Palestinian terror over the last year - as a percentage of Israel's population, slightly more than the death toll in the Twin Towers - died because Arafat chose to violate no less than five signed agreements in which he pledged to renounce violence.
Israel is reportedly even prepared to resume fund transfers to the PA following such a meeting - something it has refused to do for the past year on the grounds that this money was paying terrorists' salaries.
In short, Israel's already weak-kneed stance against terror is crumbling still further.

 L - Overview of State-Sponsored Terrorism
Until all states that support or tolerate terrorism cease their sponsorship, whether by choice or coercion, they remain a critical foundation for terrorist groups and their operations.
Even though the year 2001 saw a continuation of a slow trend away from state sponsorship as the guiding force behind the overall global terrorist threat, state sponsors still represent a key impediment to the international campaign against terrorism.

 Arafat Terrorism
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.
On September 19, 2001, Arafat personally approved a request for payment of $600 to three people including Ra'ad Karmi, commander of the Tanzim in Tulkarm, who was personally involved in at least 25 shooting attacks against Israelis.
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.

 israelinsider: security: The Afghani threat: bin Laden vows to attack Israel
According to Ha'aretz, last June "Israel arrested a Gaza resident at the Rafah crossing on the border with Egypt, who was sent to the territories to set up a local arm of bin Laden's organization."
Unnamed Israel military experts were quoted in the Israeli media this week as saying that additional Palestinians have trained in bin Laden's bases in Afghanistan.
Yoram Scheitzer, a researcher on terrorism at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, told a seminar last week "Bin Laden is a professional, he takes a long time to plan." Scheitzer said, "It is not inconceivable that Bin Laden is planning terrorist attacks [against Israel]."

 ISRAEL
There was not the slightest hint that Israel was contributing to Palestinian misery despite massive expropriations and 300 devastating "closures" after 1993.
The inability of these U.S. officials to see Israel's hugely discriminatory and brutal expulsions, demolitions, mistreatment and plain exploitation as seriously wrong in themselves, illegal, or causal manifests a complete identification with and apologetic for the ethnic cleansers.
Because of these services, Israel's victims are not merely unworthy, they also become "terrorists" and part of the "Islamic threat" for the U.S. political elite and mainstream media.

EU member states are now actively debating a change in their approach to Israel, the British daily The Guardian reported yesterday, with decisions expected at two key foreign ministers' meetings next month.

Israel has a new, if somewhat reluctant, partner in the war on terror: Russia.
"The terrorism that struck Russia is exactly the same kind of terrorism that strikes us," Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said, referring to last week’s siege of a school in the disputed Russian region of North Ossetia.
Although he called terrorism a "universal evil," Lavrov suggested that the Palestinians could be seen as resisting Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, while the Muslim separatist cause based in Chechnya is illegitimate.

Their response to Fox News reporter Carl Cameron's devastating exposé of Israel's massive spy operation in the US can hardly be repeated with a straight face.
One would think that the sheer enormity of such a charge would provoke a storm of outrage from Israel's many defenders in the media: the columnists, the think-tankers, the publicists who dote on Ariel Sharon's every word.
If we are going to be asked to give up our liberties, our peace of mind, and even our lives in an apparently eternal "war on terrorism," then Americans at least have a right to know who their enemies are.

Israel has set the stage, not for peace, but for an all out war the likes of which she has never dreamed of in her own worst nightmares!
After the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, their goal became two-tracked: Either (1) destroy Israel outright (the same pre-1967 goal) or (2) the creation of an Arab-Palestinian state to be used as a launching pad from which to destroy Israel.
The current "intifada" is led by three Islamic jihad armies -- Hamas, Hizabollah and Palestine Islamic jihad whose declared aim is to destroy Israel, establish sharia law and absorb the land from the Jordan to the sea in the Islamic umma.

 Israel State Terrorism
BACKGROUND: The Palestinian "occupied territories" have been forcibly and illegally occupied by Israel since 1967 in defiance of UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338.
Under the Geneva Conventions (in particularly The 4th Convention) the "occupying power" (Israel) is required in strict and unambiguous terms to protect the human rights, including the lives, welfare, and property of the Palestinian people.
Were it not for US dollars and weapons, and the use of its Security Council veto to block the will of the international community to enforce the Geneva Conventions, Israel's state terrorism, the end game of which is the extermination, displacement, and subjugation of the Palestinian people, could not take continue.
