Also, what do you think is behind what you term, "pure hatred?" Do Palestinians hate Jews simply because they are Jewish? Or are they filled with hate and anger partly because they have been ejected from a land they believe is theirs and explode when they view further incursion on Palestinian territory and (in this case) the escalation of an exertion of control over holy sites in violation of a long-standing agreement by Israel?
I try to stay away from Israeli issues because I'm just not well-versed enough in the history to be as opinionated as I typically am. I understand that Israel is surrounded by people who would like to destroy them, but it seems to me that any criticism of Israel by anyone somehow automatically amounts to anti-Semitism, even if it relates to policy.

I responded to your earlier thing, but I agree that it is an unsolvable chicken or the egg thing. I do think that the Palistinians seem to keep escalating the horror of the attacks and too much of the World justifies, or understands, the motivation based upon what Israel did long before the attackers were born. As to whether there would be the same level of Jew hate without "the occupation" that is another chicken/egg. I can't look at it very clearly as my daughter was walking down sidewalks there a year ago where maybe she could be stabbed today.
