Palestinian political violence refers to violence or terrorism for which some Palestinians were responsible[1] with a view to achieving goals associated with the Israeli–Palestine conflict (1948 – ).[2][3] The goals of Palestinian political violence include the disestablishment of the current State of Israel[4][5] and the recognition of an all-Palestinian state.[6]

Overview

[change | change source]

Palestinian groups engaging in political violence include but are not limited to the Hamas, PLO, PFLP and Palestinian Islamic Jihad,[7] most of which are designated as terrorist groups by several governments, particularly that of the United States (US),[1] Canada,[1] the United Kingdom (UK),[1] Japan,[8] New Zealand[9] and the European Union (EU).[10][11]

Targets of Palestinian political violence include but not limited to Jews, Lebanese, Egyptians,[12] Jordanians and Americans.[13]

Such violence often manifests itself as massacres by means of suicide bombings, mass shootings, plane hijackings and vehicle-ramming attacks, which were typical in the Second Intifada (September 28, 2000 – February 8, 2005). The worst atrocity committed by Palestinian terrorist groups so far is the October 7 massacre in 2023.

Statistics

[change | change source]

Government statistics showed that at least 3,500 Israelis had been killed in Palestinian-related terrorist attacks since Israel's reestablishment in 1948.[14] In 2022, 59% Palestinians believed that terrorist attacks on Israeli Jews were justified.[15]

Critique

[change | change source]

The legitimacy of Palestinian political violence has long been a subject of contention due to an intersection of complex geopolitico-historical factors, widespread involvement of antisemitic rhetoric[16][17] and transnational institutional implications.[18][19]

But the organization stopped short of a full claim of responsibility. The latest statement came from Hamas in the Bethlehem Governorate, not from the organization's official spokespeople in Gaza, where the group is based. Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups have praised the attack, but have not claimed responsibility.’
