The fact that terrorism against Israel has increased since the beginning of the occupation belies any assertion that the occupation has made it safer. (Carol)

Wrong thinking and argumentation. Any pre-post comparison suffers from fatal flaws and should not be used in a rational discussion. The correct comparison would be the hypothetical comparison to a no-occupation situation today. And whether in this scenario there would be less terrorism is pure speculation.
