Page 1 of A quick question about Israel

I don`t mean to be arguementative or antagonistic, but ignoring the history of the region (for the purpose of this thread, and for no other reason, please adhere to this) since the `ceasefire` can anyone recall a period of hostility in this region that wasn`t started by a Palestinian extremist, acting with or without consent or knowledge of the leader of the PLO, killing him/herself along with a bunch of Israelites, as a protest against any peace process?

I just want a one word answer, if you have a statement to make, please start another thread, and link it to this one, if you wish.

Thank you

Yes. Loads. (sorry about the 2 word answer)...it`s all chicken and egg stuff really...you cannot think about this away from the historical context.

No. But that`s just based on what I`ve seen in the news. Who knows what goes on un-reported.

So you want a one-word answer, entirely detached from historical context?

How about a no-word answer.

Define "Hostility"

Sorry for being pedantic but there have been many "Ceasefires".
To try and answer the question though how about these two words.
Jenin.
Nablus.
Both refugee camps I think.Both apparently levelled by the IDF. I would assume that would make anyone slightly miffed!!! to the point that they would be willing to exact retribution or revenge on the attackers.I can`t quite remember the website I logged onto but there were some pretty disturbing pictures from the camps"Allegedly".
JMHO folks
