The Following Slides
Es Samu
• 1966 some Israeli soldiers were killed by a road-side bomb.
• Israel blamed the newly formed PLO for this terrorist outrage
and mobilised a large force of men and tanks.
• The target was a Palestinian refugee camp at Es Samu thought
to harbour terrorists.This camp was on Jordanian land.
• The IDF attacked the camp, and also Jordanian soldiers who
were nearby, before withdrawing.

The Second Intifada from 2000 to 2008--Retaliation and Demolition
• What is less well known
about the Intifada is that
Palestinian casualties were
much higher than Israeli
ones.
• From the 29 September
2000 until 30 April 2008 –
1053 Israelis and 4,789
Palestinians were killed.
Whilst between 2000 until
2010 127 Israeli children
and 1,435 Palestinian
children were killed.
• In addition tens of
thousands of Palestinians
were imprisoned and
thousands of homes
demolished.
Demolition of houses
• On 17 February 2005, the Minister of Defense
announced a cessation of punitive house
demolitions.
• From October 2001 (when house demolitions as
punishment began again after a break of almost four
years) to January 2005, Israel demolished 675 homes
in the Occupied Territories as punishment.

intifada – (Haaretz, 11 Aug, 2003)
Disengagement in 2005
• In 2005 Israel withdrew its
8,000 illegal settlers from
Gaza.
• To the world this was
presented as a peace move
and a painful sacrifice.
• However, Israeli government
adviser Dov Weisglass
justified it differently as
ensuring the 2002 Roadmap
would not be implemented:
• “The disengagement is
actually formaldehyde. It
supplies the amount of
formaldehyde that's
necessary so that there will
not be a political process with
the Palestinians."
The Gaza Strip
• In 2005, Israel removed its settlements from the
Gaza Strip and gave much control of the area to
the Palestinian government (with exceptions
such as the border, airspace, coastline)
• Gaza later comes under the control of Hamas, a
group considered by Israel and other countries
to be a terrorist organization.
• As of June 2008, Hamas and Israel have entered
into a cease fire agreement.
Gaza Controversy
•
•
•
•
•
Even before the disengagement Gaza
was under a partial siege, since the
capture of Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit
and Hamas’ winning of elections this
siege became near total with only 40
products consisting of basic foodstuffs
and detergents allowed in.
The UN, the ICRC and all human rights
and aid agencies have declared the
siege an illegal collective punishment it continues regardless.
UN Special Rapporteur for Human
Rights, John Dugard said, “Gaza is a
prison and Israel appears to have
thrown away the key.”
Save The Children UK, before the attack
on Gaza of December 2008 stated,
“50,000 children were malnourished,
and 70% had vitamin A deficiency and
almost half of children under age two
were anaemic due to the border
blockade.”
B’Tselem reports that 12% of child
deaths in Gaza are due to diarrhea.
Gaza Violence
•
•
•
•
It is well known that since 2000
Palestinian militants have fired
approximately 10,000 mortars and
rockets at Israel.
Up to 17 January 2009 Palestinian rocket
fire had killed 20 Israeli civilians, two
soldiers, a foreign worker and five
Palestinians.
Less well known is that Israel has fired
tens of thousands of shells into Gaza.
For example, well before the latest war
between 27 June 2006 and August 2006
Israel fired over 3,500 shells and
launched 190 air strikes.
According to B’Tselem, between 2000
and the start of Israel’s December 2008
attack on Gaza, Israeli forces had killed
3000 people in the Gaza Strip, including
635 children.

Current Issue: Security and Terrorism
Israeli Perspective
• Terrorist organizations like
Hamas (which controls the
Gaza Strip) and Hezbollah
(based in Lebanon and who
was at war with Israel in the
summer of 2006) continue to
fire rockets into Israel.
Individuals also continue to
commit other acts of terror.
Palestinian Perspective
• Can’t stereotype all
Palestinians as terrorists as
the majority are not
terrorists.
• Palestinian government
denounced terrorism.
Current Issue: Jerusalem
Israeli Perspective
Palestinian Perspective
•
• Sees East Jerusalem as its
capitol
Sees united Jerusalem as its
capitol
Current Issue: Settlements
Israeli Perspective
Palestinian Perspective
• For religious, political, and
security reasons a large
number Israeli settlements
exist in the West Bank and
East Jerusalem.
• Israeli settlements go
against the idea of a future
Palestinian state.
– 270,000 Israeli settlers in the
West Bank
Current Issue: Movement
Israeli Perspective
Palestinian Perspective
• Palestinians need
permission to leave West
Bank.
• Israelis see this as needed
security to prevent
terrorism.
• The restriction on
movement limits jobs,
health care, education, etc.
contributing to standard of
living in West Bank being
significantly less than that
of Israel.
Current Issue: Right of Return
Israeli Perspective
Palestinian Perspective
• If Palestinians living in Arab
nations or in the Occupied
Territories return to Israel to
reclaim land, it can mean
the end of Israel as a Jewish
state.
• As refugees, Palestinians
believe they should be able
to return to their or their
families land in Israel.
