Yamas fighters walked into enemy cities in disguise, hunted suicide bombers, and saved lives no one knew were at risk. This book tells their story.

>> He can't say Israel didn't announce in 2005 that it was going to raze Gaza

Are you not aware of what happened between 2000-2005 in #Gaza?

#SecondIntifada

Or are you ok with what happened because #Jewish lives don’t matter?

⬆️ #EcstasyAndAmnesia #GazaStrip

As happened 30 and 50 years before, in the months after #CampDavid and well into the #SecondIntifada, the rhetoric was as militant as ever, and triumphalist too.

Moderates held that a #controlledOutbreak of #violence could improve the #Palestinian position in any future negotiation 🙄

Less-moderate voices hoped that violence could replicate #Hezbollah’s success in forcing a full #Israeli withdrawal from #Lebanon without Israel receiving anything in return

⬇️

⬆️ #EcstasyAndAmnesia #GazaStrip

A generation after 1967, the #SecondIntifada involved no armies on distant fronts. There was a campaign of #terrorist attacks against #Israeli civilians… together with a campaign of #suicideBombings in Israeli cities.

In the #WestBank it looked less like either a #civilWar or a conventional war and more like an #asymmetricWar or a #counterinsurgency campaign by an occupying army that took years to settle down into a victory on the Israeli side.

This grotesque hijacking of #Hinduism by #Hindutva Movement is what precipitated destruction of #BabriMasjid in 1992

That's why I said there are #UncannySimilarities in #LKAdvani's #Ayodhya march to #BabriMasjid in 1992 and the inopportune trek by #ArielSharon to #AlAqsa on #TempleMount 9 yrs later.

There have been destruction & attempts to raze places of worship in #Jerusalem too for centuries, but not in 2001. It triggered #SecondIntifada though

Ok now I have some context about the timeframe. Regardless of timeframe or parties involved, "riots" are never "peaceful."

Dictionary def of riot is "violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd"

There have been destruction & attempts to raze places of worship in #Jerusalem too, for centuries, hence #UncannySimilarities.

The inopportune trek by #ArielSharon to #AlAqsa on #TempleMount in 2001, triggering #SecondIntifada, was similar to #LKAdvani marching to #BabriMasjid in 1992

Sorry to hear of your personal experience from 1940s. I have never faced such a situation myself, but I stand with #Israel because of the clarity I now have that I did not have during the #SecondIntifada.

The more I look closely at #Hamas tactics, the more I am convinced that, #Netanyahu or no Netanyahu, there is no peace possible because the problem is singularly one of #Arabism They don’t want JUST independence.

#Zionism is just an excuse to keep this #permanentStateOfWar alive

>> A regime of Jewish supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea: This is apartheid

Have you been living under a rock through the #FirstIntifada and #SecondIntifada, particularly the latter?

>> we are somehow supposed to support Jewish claims to the land based on the Torah and therefore we should be okay with the massive displacement, murder, and pillage that characterized the formation of the state of Israel?
