pbel, et al,
I often wonder if this Hostile Arab Palestinian Campaign against civilians, who are not members of the armed forces or security services and police, is something to which they are proud?

(COMMENT)
Of course it is known that the Arab Palestinian of today feel some connection to the Arab Palestinian of the early 20th Century. Then as now, the dispute resolution process of choice has been armed conflict, unconventional and asymmetric warfare. In the last 67 years, after the establishment of the State of Israel, the Arab Palestinian has decided to adopt a position of non-chivalric virtue. That is --- it has opted to adopt the position that: "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad." The Code of Chivalry is not in play. It is not reasonable to assume, within a society in which Jihad has becomes an individual duty of every Muslim, that priority will be given to:
• Protecting the weak and defenseless people.
• Fight for everyone’s welfare.
• Honor the fellow knights.
• Respect the honor of women.
• Speak the truth all the time.
That the strategy, policy and plans of the Hostile Arab Palestinian include:
• Making the civilian population the object of attack.
• A policy of indiscriminate fire.
• A policy to locate military objectives within or near:
∆ Densely populated areas.
∆ Not to remove civilians and objects under its control away from the vicinity of military objectives.
∆ Facilities providing shelter to the wounded, protected persons, and in close proximity to safety zones.
• To take advantage of the presence of protected persons for the purpose of rendering certain offensive areas or activities immune from otherwise legitimate targeting.
• To conduct such acts of violence intended to:
∆ To intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
∆ To influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
∆ To affect the conduct of a government by infrastructure destruction, assassination, or kidnapping and murder.
The Hostile Arab Palestinian that attempts this type of strategy has absolutely no moral ground on which to stand.
Most Respectfully,
