I'm reluctant to answer you.

You are so bigoted there is no access to your reason, logic or humanity. You have no knowledge base from which to draw your conclusions, substituting prejudice instead. You need no facts beyond the cast.

Second, the discussion regards the current attacks.

Third, the attacks in '48, for instance, was in response to the Israeli extermination of entire Palestinian villages.

According to Glazer (1980, p.111), from May 15, 1948 onwards, expulsion of Palestinians became a regular practice. Avnery (1971), explaining the Zionist rationale, says,

"I believe that during this phase, the eviction of Arab civilians had become an aim of David Ben-Gurion and his government …. UN opinion could very well be disregarded. Peace with the Arabs seemed out of the question, considering the extreme nature of the Arab propaganda. In this situation, it was easy for people like Ben-Gurion to believe the capture of uninhabited territory was both necessary for security reasons and desirable for the homogeneity of the new Hebrew state.[60]

"After the fall of Haifa the villages on the slopes of Mount Carmel had been harassing the Jewish traffic on the main road to Haifa. A Decision was made on 9 May 1948 to expel or subdue the villages of Kafr Saba, al-Tira, Qaqun, Qalansuwa and Tantura[62] On the 11 May 1948 Ben-Gurion convened the “Consultancy” the outcome of the meeting is confirmed in a letter to commanders of the Haganah Brigades telling them that the Arab legion's offensive should not distract their troops from the principal tasks: "‘the cleansing of Palestine remained the prime objective of Plan Dalet”.

By the way, check who is not in compliance with UN resolutions despite the US veto power.

That's my last response to you.
