Those poor, poor Palestinians
First they turn down a negotiated settlement that would have given them an independent state on more than 90% of the occupied territories. Then they started a bloody war against Israeli civilians, using suicide attacks. While they succeeded in killing a lot of Israelis, the Palestinians lost this war; leading to the Israeli re-occupation of Palestinian towns and the destruction of much of the administrative infrastructure of the Palestinian Authority.
As part of the Israeli effort to defend its population from the barbaric suicide bombs in restaurants, nightclubs and crowded marketplaces, Israel began building a wall around its borders to keep Palestinian terrorists out. Now the Palestinians are protesting that a wall around Israel will prevent their people from getting jobs in the only developed economy in the region.
My heart really goes out to them.

The Israeli's have no right to be in Palestine. For nearly sixty years they have persecuted the Palestinian arabs whilst the world inparticular the USA has turned the other cheek. Unfortunately, the Jews also control the US, so therefore this situation will never be resolved. How would you feel if you had an army of occupation in your back yard and the world was ignoring your plight? You would probably resort to suicide bombing or worst! There is nothing to lose when you have no future!
I think the Israeli's have mixed up the Arabs with the Nazi's. It was the Nazi's that persecuted them in WW2 not the Arabs. How come they are repeating history? Unless the Israeli's start treating the indigenous Arab population with compassion and dignity, I am afraid that terrorist attacks will prevail and as always the innocent will suffer.
