Palestinian Violence

If you'd like some useful background on why the Palestinians* pursue violence as a political strategy and with alacrity, check out this nice summary by Bret Stephens in the WSJ:

As you read this, keep in mind that a increasing fraction of the Palestinians are Christian (maybe 12-14%) , and they are not fomenting violence.

*I wish there was a more useful name. Many of these people originated in Jordan, Syria, and Egypt, and are not now allowed to return. They are political pawns of evil men.
