Palestinian political violence

with a view to achieving goals associated with the Israeli–Palestine conflict (1948 – ). The goals of Palestinian political violence include the disestablishment of the current State of Israelde Waart, 1994, p. 223 . Referencing Article 9 of The Palestinian National Charter of 1968. The Avalon Project has a copy here   and the recognition of an all-Palestinian state. 


Overview
Palestinian groups engaging in political violence include but are not limited to the Hamas, PLO, PFLP and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, most of which are designated as terrorist groups by several governments, particularly that of the United States (US), Canada, the United Kingdom (UK), Japan, New Zealand and the European Union (EU).

Targets
Targets of Palestinian political violence include but not limited to Jews, Lebanese, Egyptians,Tuesday, October 26, 2004, Interior Ministry: defendants are eight Egyptians led by a Palestinian national living in Al-Arish   Jordanians and Americans.

Methods
Such violence often manifests itself as massacres by means of suicide bombings, mass shootings, plane hijackings and vehicle-ramming attacks, which were typical in the Second Intifada (September 28, 2000 – February 8, 2005). The worst atrocity committed by Palestinian terrorist groups so far is the October 7 massacre in 2023.

Statistics
Government statistics showed that at least 3,500 Israelis had been killed in Palestinian-related terrorist attacks since Israel's reestablishment in 1948. In 2022, 59% Palestinians believed that terrorist attacks on Israeli Jews were justified.
Critique
The legitimacy of Palestinian political violence has long been a subject of contention due to an intersection of complex geopolitico-historical factors, widespread involvement of antisemitic rhetoric 







  and transnational institutional implications.
