It's not war unless they wear a uniform and engage enemy combatants. What the Palestinians engage in is "Mohammedanism."
Not all the Palestinians are Mohammedans. Many are Christian, but there are fewer every day because of the Israeli treatment of all non-Jews.
I am a Christian (non-Arab) and was in the Holy Land this year for Pascha (Easter). I am studying Hebrew, and I went with an open mind.
I witnessed (and experienced) clergy and church-goers hassled by Israeli police and soldiers. I saw a nun roughed up by soldiers. People sitting in a restaurant owned by Christian Arabs were rousted out. I have photos of Israeli police and soldiers pointing machine guns — on many occasions — at unarmed tourists, for our “protection.” An American friend I was with was interrogated for four hours because security decided her name, Nadine, sounded Persian. But the abuse and hassles we as visitors get are nothing compared to that the locals are subject to.
A Christian boy, 16 years old, was shot in the head and killed as he was coming out of church with his infant cousin in his arms. Palestinian Christians had mortars shot through their house; their young daughter was almost killed when soldiers shot into their home. Israeli soldiers burst into homes in Palestinian territory — no warrants, no reasons given. Israeli soldiers bulldoze olive groves on people’s land. People have their cars crushed by Israeli bulldozers. Local Christians have to have special passes which allow them to come into Jerusalem. Some are only permitted to enter Jerusalem twice a year.
These are not isolated cases — this is typical for Christians whose families have lived in the Holy land for over a thousand years.
There are Israelis (and Arabs - Christians and Muslims) who would happily leave in peace with their non-coreligionist neighbors. But the majority in the Israeli government want all non-Jews out; besides legislation, they use the police and army and their everyday abuses to accomplish that.
