reply to Full of shit: My point--which you NEVER addressed---was that if the root cause of Palestinian violence, according to the author of the above article is the "illegal occupation" of "Palestine" by Israel. But since there was no occupation of any sort going on in 1948, 1956, and 1967, why did the Palestinians attack Israel?

There must have been another reason. From 1948 to 1967 Jordan occupied the West Bank and Egypt occupied Gaza. Yet the attacks by the Arab countries, and the local Arabs in Israel continued.

Perhaps its Islamicism which has no room for any non-Islamic country on the face of the planet?
