Sallow,
et al,
We need a little perspective here.

- The "huge amounts of casualties" is subjective. Palestinian political violence (Jihadism, Armed Fedayeen Struggle, terrorism by subgroups) has significantly reduced since the Construction of the Security Barrier (AKA: The Wall). This is simply a matter of record, and not just supposition. Was the Security Barrier responsible for the entire reduction? (Rhetorical) No! But is was an extremely important component in the overall anti-terrorism campaign against Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP) Operations that included massacres, suicide bombings, hijackings, piracy, rocket & mortar attacks, armed assaults, etc; many of which were directly targeted against harmless and defenseless civilian activities.
- Israel was established as a 'Jewish State" under the auspices of the guidance and direction of the UN; and NOT by "of one of the most successful terrorist movements, ever." General Assembly 181(II) was not a Partition Plan the UN agreed to at the point of a gun. It was an outcome of the efforts by the Special Commission on Palestine. If anything, it can be said the following the adoption of GA/RES/181(II), the terrorism and warfare by the Arab League and HoAP was in direct defiance of the UN Plan.
(COMMENT)
Britain (UK) (the LoN Mandatory) did not "give away" anything in the Mandate of Palestine. The Independence of the "Jewish State" was accomplished pursuant to the "Steps Preparatory to Independence" adopted by the General Assembly.

"People Who Live In Glass Houses Should Not Throw Stones"
Israel was born under fire from Arab League Armies attempting to overturn the implementation of the Plan in defiance of the decisions by the United Nations.
(COMMENT)
Everyone spies on the US! --- And some of the greatest American Allies today, were once enemies. It is the way of the world and the human endeavor. In the twilight of American Power and Influence, it is something the US will have to face as a challenge.
The reputation of Israel is what it is. But in mitigation, it would be foolish for the HoAP, famed for its peaceful ways to make any comment.
Terrorist Attack on TWA Flight 841
This is the worst terrorist attack in the air which managed to get 8th position in our top 10 worst terrorist attacks of the historyÂ’s list. It happened on September 8, 1974 when TWA Flight 841 flew from Athens to Rome. It stopped for around 68 minutes in Greece to take off once again. Originally it took off from Tel Aviv to reach to its destination i.e. New York City JFK International Airport. The plane suddenly crashed (though it was suspected an engine failure) into the Lonian Sea. This engine failure was later on discovered as the result of a small bomb blast in the plane. All 79 passengers lost their lives in this plane crash incident.
MaÂ’a lot Massacre Terrorist Attacks
May 15, 1973 was probably the worst day in Israeli history when a huge massacre happened in this only Jewish state on Earth. Three armed Palestinian terrorists were behind this terrorist attack who belonged to Liberation of Palestine. They successfully managed to enter into this Jewish state and used the route of Lebanon. More or less 115 people were taken as hostages by them and killed around 25 people. A couple along with their son (only 4-year-old) was also among victim in MaÂ’a lot town.
Munich Massacre
The Munich Olympic Games Massacre was an attack during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany on 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team, who were taken hostage and eventually killed, along with a German police officer, by the Palestinian group Black September. Shortly after the crisis began, they demanded the release of 234 prisoners held in Israeli jails, and the release of the founders of the German Red Army Faction, who were held in German prisons.
MS Achille Lauro Piracy
On October 7, 1985, four PLF militants hijacked the Achille Lauro liner off Egypt. Thehijackers had been surprised by a crew member and acted prematurely. Holding the passengers and crew hostage, they directed the vessel to sail to Tartus, Syria, and demanded the release of 50 Palestinians then in Israeli prisons.
On October 8, after being refused permission by the Syrian government to dock at Tartus, the hijackers murdered Leon Klinghoffer, a retired, wheelchair-bound Jewish American businessman, shooting him in the forehead and chest. They then forced the ship's barber and a waiter to throw his body and wheelchair overboard.

Nukes? So what!
Diplomacy is something the HoAP seldom use.
- Article 9: Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.
- Article 13: There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad.
Maybe you should give advice to the PLO-Negotiation Affairs Department.
Most Respectfully,
