  Militancy 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.

Iraq does not share a border with Israel, but since 1948 it has been one of Israel's staunchest enemies.
Iraq made Israel a prime target for attack during the Gulf War and was a sponsor of terrorism against Israel.
The 2003 Iraq War, however, destroyed much of the Iraqi army and deposed Saddam Hussein opening up the possibility that a new, democratically elected Iraqi government may change its orientation toward Israel and adopt a policy that if not friendly, is at least less hostile.

 Palestinian Attacks A 'Double-Edged Sword' Against Israel, US -- 01/06/2003
"Israel most certainly is taking into consideration [the situation] with regards to Iraq and timing because [action against Iraq] is a vital Israeli interest," Shoval said in a telephone interview.
According to Shoval, there are two interpretations that can be given to continuing Palestinian terrorism: It is being perpetrated for its own sake against Israel or it is "closely connected with Iraq" in order to create problems for America in the Arab world.
This was the first large-scale terror attack in six weeks, since a suicide bomber blew himself up on a Jerusalem bus in November, killing 11, although there have been several deadly attacks since then.

Yuri Gottesman spent his summer volunteering in Israel this year, but instead of picking oranges on a kibbutz, he slept in a terrorist’s house that was scheduled for demolition and cleared roadblocks that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) had set up to hinder the passage of terrorists.
Terrorism expert Steven Emerson told The Journal that according to his intelligence, the ISM collects information for terrorist groups to use.
Alan Dershowitz, professor of law at Harvard University and the author of "The Case for Israel" (Wiley, 2003) said that members of the ISM could not be called human rights activists, because they only focus on the Palestinians, while ignoring serious human rights violations in Tibet and other places.

 Arafat Terrorism
As of late September 2003, according to the head of Israeli military intelligence, Maj.-Gen. Zeevi-Farkash, orders for terrorist attacks were actually coming directly from Arafat's headquarters.
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.

 The JPost Special - ELECTIONS 2003 : ISRAEL DECIDES
To quote Winston Churchill: "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." However, Sir Winston, known to contradict himself, also said: "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
Perhaps in that spirit, Israel will be consumed by politics, campaigning and electioneering from the November 19 Labor Party primary, through the Likud primary in December, and likely beyond the general elections on January 28.
We will be providing current news articles, profiles of the major players and their political parties, background on Israel's political history and the latest political polls.

The eight men were accused of being “material supporters” of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and of having “financed, extolled and assisted acts of terror.” Al-Arian, one of four men arrested, was alleged to be a top Islamic Jihad official.
Describing Al-Arian as “a prominent community leader and outspoken defender of civil libertiesÂ…[long] a target of pro-Israel advocates,” the Muslim American Society (MAS) claimed that Al-Arian’s arrest “conforms to a pattern of political intimidation by an Attorney General who seems to be targeting the American Muslim community’s leaders and institutions.”
Islamic Jihad was “Israel’s problem, not America’s.” Additionally, “targeting [American] Muslim and Arab leadersÂ…sends the message...[we’re] prosecuting a war on Islam and Muslims.”
