What is Israeli terrorism?Israeli terror and collective punishment used against the Palestinians have traumatized an entire population. Examples of these terror tactics are.House Demolitions: According to UN's Human Rights Commission, 773 Palestinian family homes were destroyed in the six months leading to February of this year alone, a figure high even by Israeli standards of the practice for the last 50 years. This form of collective punishment violates articles of the Fourth Geneva Convention, as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Demolitions are often carried out without any advance notice, often at night, and the effect can be absolutely terrifying. Often demolished Palestinian homes are the sites of new Israeli settlements. The photo (at right) shows women in Gaza amid the ruins of their home, demolished without warning by the Israeli military.Torture bullets: Israeli troops regularly use special bullets that, upon impact, burst and the fragments spiral within the body destroying other organs. The use of these bullets have killed more than 500 Palestinians and caused debilitating injuries for 15,000 more since September of last year.Tanks, helicopter gunships, F-16 fighters: Palestinians resist the occupation through stones, rifles and home-made mortars. Israel's response to these has been the use of machine guns, bulldozers, tanks, helicopter gunships and F-16 fighter planes.
