committed by suicide bombers, but they will never call the IsraeliArmy terrorist. How can we tell whatis more terrifying: to be killed by a fellow that blows himself up, or to seeyour family gun-fired one-by-one in front of you, while you wait for yourturn? How can one not say that these areboth acts of terror, produced by both Israeli and Palestinian? ThePalestinians have suffered much more terror at the hands of the Israeli Statethan vice-versa. The whole world hascondemned the actions of the Israeli State, but the U.S. continues to send armsand money to Israel, it being the State that receives the largest amount ofU.S. aid. On 19 October 2000, the UnitedNations Human Rights Commission condemned Israel for a war crime and a crimeagainst humanity, and for violating each and every one of the Declarationsprovisions[17]for its occupation of Palestinian lands, mistreatment of the people, killingeven of children, and much more. What ismost interesting is that a great part of the Jews living in Israel would liketo see an end to the occupation and oppression, but their State does not listento them. Many Israeli militarypersonnel, including sergeants, colonels, and also many academics and studentshave been raising their voices against what they see as Israeli brutality. The price of the current quiet is total oppression [of thePalestinians]. As people are asked to do worse and worse things, support for us[the military refusing to fight Palestinians] will increase, says Haim Weiss,a captain in the armored corps [of Israel][18]. Another Israeli sergeant says: This stupid war that we are waging, itsawful. Killing people, as many aspossible there is no point in this[19]. In 1994, the leftist government of Prime MinisterRabin recognized the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization), and alsorecognized Palestine as a nation. Oneyear later, in 1995, he was shot by a right-wing Jewish man. From then on Israel has been governed by right-wingsupporters of the oppression of Palestinians, like Netanyahu, Peres, andSharon. Occupations have risen, and manyPalestinians are denied access to basic things like water, many areincarcerated in their own cities. Israel, as a Jewish State, violates the basic foundations of Jewishreligion itself; foundations of justice in this world (not that there existsone kind of ethical Jew only). Andwhat is more frightening is that people that undergo terror once, such as theHolocaust, do not become automatically ethical. When Ariel Sharon took office,he promised his voters to make peace. Apeace by force, peace of occupation, peace with settlements and withoutconcessions...[20]. In what world does one have to live not torecognize this as terrorism? How canthe U.S. media totally disregard the mistreatment of Palestinians? It is because they have been labeledterrorist, and because this serves the interests of some and the ignorance ofothers. To quote Asad Abukhalil (2002):Ilived through the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, which resulted in thedeath of more than 15,000 Palestinian and Lebanese, mostly civilians. U.S. media barely, if ever, reported thosedeaths to Americans, while Israeli loss was mourned. Indeed, as noticed by Tariq Ali[21],the author of The Clash ofFundamentalisms, a critique of the U.S war on terrorism, the U.S. mediais even more unilateral
