I decided today that I can no longer refer to what is commonly called the "Intifada" as such. I will only refer to it as the "Palestinian Suicidal War of Aggression."
I feel that referring to the Palestinian war as the Palestinian Suicidal War of Aggression is much more accurate, especially when referring to their latest suicidal war of aggression that they chose to wage almost 31 months ago. No one forced Israel to acknowledge the PLO, or to make a one-sided peace with the Palestinians. In 1993, when Israel signed the Oslo Agreements, Israel's economy was one of the strongest in the Middle East, and had the greatest potential for growth. Not one company that made it really big in the Tech Boom, didn't have an office in Israel at that time. Israel could have chosen to continue to keep the Palestinian desire to cleanse the Middle East of the Jews at bay. But Israel decided to make peace, and help bring their worst enemies along for the ride. That wasn't good enough for the Palestinians. And 7 years later, after getting more than anyone ever expected Israel to give to their enemies (and more than any group has ever received from its mutual enemy), the Palestinians decided to wage a second Suicidal War of Aggression. Maybe if the media could properly refer to the Palestinian War, it wouldn't be so easy to depict Israel as the aggressor.
