You'd think the Palesyinian Arabs would have learned by now, wouldn't you.
And I guess that living with the knowledge -every single day of your life- that there are people out there in the street who hate you enough to kill you at the expense of their own lives; that every time your kid goes to school, he or she may not come home because the buss was blown up; that at any time the SCUDS may land in your neighborhood or the artillery shells may hit your house, well, those things are simply the dispossesed Arabs venting their just displeasure at having lost every war of aggression they have launched and trying to let you know that they want their lost territory back.
It's really nothing to become upset about. Surely it's no reason to restrict the Arabs movements and build secure roads in the conquered territory and set up checkpoints so that you can control who goes in and out of the areas you control. I mean, those things are humiliating.
I could go on but why bother. ALL governments have much to answer for in regards to the pursuit of security for their people. The losers get called to account; the winners skate
That's the brutal reality of the world. You don't have to like it. And you can try to change it.
But you'd better understand that it has been that way since forever and will probably continue to be so.
