“Source?”
The mitchell report which was the Israeli’s report looking into the cause of the intifada.
they reported (from wikipedia) “The immediate catalyst for the violence was the breakdown of the Camp David negotiations on July 25, 2000, and the “widespread appreciation in the international community of Palestinian responsibility for the impasse”. In this view, Palestinian violence was planned by the PA leadership, and was aimed at “provoking and incurring Palestinian casualties as a means of regaining the diplomatic initiative”.”
“Without them, it probably would not have been as severe, and it may never even have started.”
This is a myth.
You missed my point with “Is that true? There was no har habayis excuse in the 50’s yet fedayeen attacks became a routine occurance.” Terrosim was more prevelant then than today. Ditto for the hijackings in the 70’s, first intifada, second. NOne of these (with the possible exception of the second intifada) can in any way be blamed on har habayis. There isnt even an uptick in violence that can be linked to har ahbayis.
My example with the thug was to illustratete that when there is no patern, you cant say smacking the thug exacerbates violence.
