LOL at the *****deleted comment by admin ****
For those who are interested in a more comprehensive picture regarding the riots inside Israel - this an excellent overview about the complex history of Israel and its Arab citizens relationships. It was written in 2003, but is relevant as ever:

Israel’s Arabs v. Israel
The ongoing explosion of violence by Israel’s Arabs against their Jewish compatriots is not an act of social protest as is wrongly claimed by many commentators but an internal uprising in support of

I must confess, I am still ignorant... the solution seems simple... if the Palestinians decided to get along with Israel, and used their aid money to build their economy and infrastructure, they would raise their standard of living, and the Israelis would stop seeing them as a threat, and they would build a beautiful little country next to the sea.
What is stopping them from doing this? Its quite clear that Israels security situation is very tenuous given the attitude of the Palestinians twords them... Of course they would be wary.

IMHO I would put up to this: antisemitism as a general background, unjustified resentment over Israel as the winner of the war, the wrong messages given by the world that they do not need to settle for a minimum agreement with the winner (Israel), and sorry to say but the failure of Israel to provide that minimum settlement in concrete terms.
This does not apply to gaza of course (rabid antisemitism aside)

This was basically whole idea behind the so-called Two State Solution. The problem is, pretty much every assumption on which this vision was built was wrong. There are host of extremely complex cultural, geopolitical, religious and historical factors behind this - some of them virtually impossible to explain to an average Westerner, simple because it doesn't correspond to anything people are familiar with in their personal everyday experience.
If you are really interested this is probably the best relatively concise account of what went wrong:
The Oslo Disaster
The Oslo diplomatic process is the starkest strategic blunder in Israel’s history and one of the worst calamities ever to have afflicted Israelis and Palestinians. Twenty three years after its eupho

No one forces any newsagency that calls itself independent to put out any report, that is their own decision. The IDF used the media's obsession with sensationalism and speculative reporting against both the media itself and the other enemy. Well played!Israeli military accused of using media to trick Hamas

Now what are the media going to do, put out even more biased reporting about Israel? ?
There is no step up when you've already gone full retard. A lot of MSM reporting already appears like a counter to the BabylonBee.
