The Apartheid Regime continues its legacy of West Bank land theft.
Putting Out The Flames With Gasoline
IOF terrorists love pushing their victims to a breaking point, ensuring that violence is the only response to colonial aggression. This is done so they can portray Palestinians as the aggressors — a narrative Liberal Western Democracies and Legacy Media is happy to run with! It was led by Ariel Sharon, head of the far-right, religious-extremist Likud Party, when his forces entered Masjid Al-Aqsa.
This assault from The Apartheid Regime was meant to provoke a reaction from majority-Muslim population of Palestine — and they responded since Al-Aqsa is the third holiest site in Islam. Sharon’s aggression led to the murder of seven Palestinians — the Second Intifada had begun! Just as the First Intifada, the Palestinians knew you couldn’t peacefully negotiate with IOF terrorists.
Sticks and Stones vs Tanks and Helicopters
The Second Intifada began with peaceful protests, but IOF terrorists had to satisfy their bloodlust. They started attacking their victims with rubber bullets, moving over to live ammo, and eventually using tanks and attack helicopters to continue their massacre of Palestinians. According to the Director of IOF military intelligence, Amos Malka, the zionist terrorists fired about 1.3 million bullets at Palestinians in only the first few days of the Second Intifada — 47 Palestinian victims murdered and 1,885 wounded. Ramallah-based analyst, Diana Buttu, said this was done to distract from the increase of settlements.
Throughout the Second Intifada, 4,973 Palestinians were murdered — including 1,262 children, 274 women, and 32 medical personnel. And in the first five years it’s been reported by the Defence for Children International over 10,000 Palestinian children were wounded. The IOF also demolished over 5,000 homes and another 6,500 were damaged beyond repair.
Addicted to Murder
Randomly shooting at everything in site with guns, bombs, and missiles from rifles, tanks, and helicopters wasn’t enough for the IOF — they couldn’t help but intentionally target children! IOF terrorists shot the children of Al-Aqsa in the head. IOF terrorists also murdered 12-year-old Muhammad Al-Durrah, who was hiding behind a pillar with this father. The father signaled for them to stop firing, and the IOF responded by killing his son.
Ala Badran, 12, lost an eye; Mohammed Joda, 13, lay dying in the intensive care ward of Makassed Hospital in East Jerusalem; and Majdi Maslamani, 15, was already dead and buried in the cemetery of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina.

IOF terrorists assassinated Anwar Himran as he was leaving his university. He had just finished an exam, holding his books, and with his wife next to him. 20 IOF sniper rounds cut him down. By December 2000, 250 Palestinians were assassinated by IOF terrorist forces in a similar manner.
The Second Intifada was more violent than the first, and it was because of IOF violence.
