Exploding Myths of Middle East Terrorism

>>I have completed the initial cleanup of the data posted on the website of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which lists all suspected Palestinian terrorist attacks during the 23-year, four-month period (i.e., 2000 to April 26, 2024). During this period, the Israeli Government identifies 672 terrorist attacks blamed on the Palestinians. Why do I phrase it like that? Because several of the incidents involve the discovery of dead Israelis with no identified attacker. . . .

Now here are the really interesting numbers. 105 of the attacks are attributed to Hamas. 58 to Islamic Jihad and 5 to Hezbollah. In other words, only 25% of the attacks are associated with a specific Palestinian group. The remaining 75% are blamed on nameless culprits. The total number killed by Palestinian violence during this 23-year-plus period is 1,455. That is the number of victims listed at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs site. And, as I noted in my recent article (Hamas is a Third-Rate Terrorist Organization), the Israelis killed 7,065 Palestinians during the same period of time. In other words, the Israelis killed almost five times the number of Palestinians. This may explain why the Palestinians carried out “terrorist” attacks — they were seeking vengeance, retribution.<<

Armchair Critic,
And, when the Israelis seek vengeance & retribution it's called attacks ?

Iranian Missiles Overwhelmed Israeli Defenses at Some Sites, Analysts Say

'While damage was limited, Tuesday’s strike suggests Iran could cause serious pain if it hits Israel’s civilian infrastructure'

"Satellite images of a target on Tuesday—the Nevatim air base in southern Israel, home to its F-35 jet fighters—show that as many as 32 Iranian missiles managed to land within the base's perimeter, according to analysis by professor Jeffrey Lewis, at the Middlebury Institute for International Studies in Monterey, Calif."

mhaze was correct for once, the houthis are definitely deterred now.

Bill Burns and Richard Moore: Intelligence partnership helps the US and UK stay ahead in an uncertain world

"In the Middle East, SIS and the CIA have exploited our intelligence channels to push hard for restraint and de-escalation. Our services are working ceaselessly to achieve a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza, which could end the suffering and appalling loss of life of Palestinian civilians and bring home the hostages after 11 months of hellish confinement by Hamas."

I'm sick of hearing this cracked record:
'We're trying to bring peace';
from the same people -'supplying the weapons'.

It's like...
Your 15 year old daughter is addicted to smoking crack
You confront the drug dealer, and they say:
"We're trying really really hard to work with your daughter to help her to try and limit her illicit drug use."
- Like seriously 'say what?', do you think we're stupid? Obviously.

"In other words, only 25% of the attacks are associated with a specific Palestinian group. The remaining 75% are blamed on nameless culprits."

I blame the Amish.
