3rd Intifada

Palestinians and Muslims around the world have called for a Third Intifada against Israel and the Jews because the US decided to follow the 1995 law and move the US Embassy to Jerusalem and not keep it in Tel Aviv.  An Intifada is basically a period of intense terrorist attacks.

The First Intifada lasted from 1987-1993. 100 Israeli civilians and 60 IDF soldiers were killed. More than 1,400 Israeli civilians and 1,700 IDF soldiers were injured.

The Second Intifada lasted from 2000 -2005. 773 Israeli civilians, 302 IDF soldiers and 55 foreigners were killed.

The Third Intifada started in 2017. An Israeli security guard was killed. 

Whether dealing with a war or an Intifada, Israel has always shown it's power and restraint. They have also always won in the 69 years even when invaded and attacked by multiple countries and armies from all sides. While Israel continues to learn and grow - especially with ways to protect themselves: the Iron Dome against missiles, destroying the Gazan tunnels and the West Bank Barrier against suicide bombers the Palestinians and other Muslims continue the same tactics that have helped them to lose for 69 years. Hopefully they (the Palestinians and Muslims) continue their same tactics because while Israel has shown it can live peacefully beside Muslims the same is not true with the Palestinians and many Muslim countries (who officially call for the complete destruction of Israel into the sea.) 

Any person, organization or country that supports someone/someplace that calls for the annihilation of Israel and the Jews are just as guilty of the terrorism and murder as the ones firing the missiles or bombs.
