[T]he Palestinians…terrorism, especially in the face of a rejectionist Israeli government, is justified… the Palestinians have the right to use terrorism against us….What’s needed very badly, …is for Israelis to realize that …we are compelling them (the Palestinians) to engage in terrorism, that the blood of Israeli victims is ultimately on our hands, and that it’s up to us to stop provoking our own people’s murder by ending the occupation…. [T]he Palestinians … who killed the eight Israelis near Eilat last week, … were justified to attack….  Israel, which rules the Palestinians harshly and unjustly, is to blame for those eight Israeli deaths – as well as for every other Israeli death that occurred when this country was offering the Palestinians no other way to freedom.
