Timeline of Zionist Terror

it is obvious that atrocities were committed by Jews and Arabs. However, the Jews were accountable for most of the terrorism committed. This is understandable because (i) the holocaust was fresh in their minds and (ii) their very existence was called into question.
Going back to a pre-1948 situation for Palestine is not possible. Today, Israel is a secular democracy and it is up to the Palestinians to recognize the state of Israel. Should the majority of Palestinians choose Hamas, an Islamists organization, to represent them, they have to be willing to suffer the consequences of their choice.
Hamas, like all Islamists, is dedicated to the destruction of all things non-Muslims. All non-Islamists should be glad of what Israel did to the Islamists in Gaza.
Winston Churchill wrote in 1899 about Islam:
“A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
