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.

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.

Ongoing Occupation Issues• The Right to Self-Determination;• The Illegal Settlements;• The Siege of Gaza;• The Right to Water;• The Right of Return;• The Cleansing of East Jerusalem;• The Prisoners;• The Right to Freedom of Movement;• The Right to Health;• The Wall;• House Demolition;• The Confiscation of Land.

Israeli Perspective Palestinian 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.

• Can’t stereotype all Palestinians as terrorists as the majority are not terrorists.

• Palestinian government denounced terrorism.

Current Issue: Security and Terrorism


• Sees united Jerusalem as its capitol

• Sees East Jerusalem as its capitol

Current Issue: Jerusalem


• For religious, political, and security reasons a large number Israeli settlements exist in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.– 270,000 Israeli settlers in the

West Bank

• Israeli settlements go against the idea of a future Palestinian state.

Current Issue: Settlements


• 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: Movement


• 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.

Current Issue: Right of Return
