this principle doesn't apply to Israel.

Interestingly, the crappy living conditions and oppression of Palestinians seem to precede the violence, almost as if oppression causes resistance. I believe that better living conditions and less oppression of Palestinians will lead to less violence, and that worse living conditions will lead to more violence. I also think that most Palestinians are more affected by the current situation rather than the situation in 1948.

This of course makes me into one of those "apologists for terror", even though I'm actually not an apologist for terror. Maybe I should go to re-education camp...
