6. Not all forms of Palestinian violence are caused by Israeli oppression.

However, this doesn't mean that Israeli oppression causes no violence at all. In fact, the link between oppression and violence is pretty strong. There are many historical instances where oppression causes violence - there were at least 22 instances of slave rebellions in the US alone. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_rebellion#North_American_slave_revolts) I think it's pretty safe to assume that the treatment of Palestinians is the main cause of Palestinian violence.

I can contrast the Palestinian violence in the occupied territories with the absence of Palestinian violence in Israel. The only difference between these groups is that one has rights, the other doesn't.

Besides, is there another alternative to the bi-national state?
