MYTHS & FACTS #6

There are hundreds of groups worldwide that are actively seeking independence and usually under far worse conditions, with far fewer options than the Palestinians.

If any of these groups were offered a state, as Palestinians were offered several times already (see Fact #2), it is highly unlikely that they would have turned it down.

Compared to practically any other group that seeks statehood, Palestinians have far less reason to feel desperate, yet they are extensively involved in terrorism. Hamas even admits to targeting civilians while predictably claiming to have excuses to do it. Examples include the killing of American student in Israel, Taylor Force, leading to the Taylor Force Act being enacted in the US in 2018. “Desperation” is not an excuse for MURDER.

Palestinian terrorism continues because Palestinian leadership can afford to put at risk international aid by accepting any solution until they can get what their terrorist organizations have always openly demanded – the destruction of the Jewish state.
