"The continuing violence of Palestinians against Israelis" - This framing is just the manifestation of utter ignorance or of blatant bias.

Let's see, am I going to believe the overwhelming amount of evidence or am I going to believe the guy that makes a baseless emotional claim denying the evidence. I think I will go with the former. If Israel is not a terrorist state, then there is no such thing as a terrorist state in the world: [Empire Files: How Palestine Became Colonized]( [VIDEO] ) [Israeli Army Vet’s Exposé - “I Was the Terrorist”]( [LINK] ) ["The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by Israeli scholar and historian Ilan Pappe]( [LINK] ) [If Americans Knew - What every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine]( [LINK] ) Israel is not only a terrorist state, but an apartheid state on top of that: [LINK]

> What are these acts of terrorism then? Sources please. [Empire Files: How Palestine Became Colonized]( [VIDEO] ) [Israeli Army Vet’s Exposé - “I Was the Terrorist”]( [LINK] ) ["The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by Israeli scholar and historian Ilan Pappe]( [LINK] ) [If Americans Knew - What every American needs to know about Israel/Palestine]( [LINK] ) It's quite amusing how you make baseless claim after baseless claim, then demand more evidence, besides the evidence you have already conveniently ignored. Your cognitive dissonance is actually quite mind boggling, you are the one "believing" in a narrative that is convenient for you, while we are the ones making judgments based on evidence, yet you accuse us of what you yourself are actually guilty of. Even the testimony of the ex-IDF solider testifying that his job was literally to terrorize Palestinians should suffice to refute your false claims, but you can't be bothered to process the evidence because it goes against your preconceived notions.
