I’ll give you a hint. The correct answer to all these questions IS NOT “B”<\/p>\n
Actually the current wave of terrorism coming out of the Middle East started<\/p>\n
about 30 years ago, shortly after Israel captured the Palestinian territories<\/p>\n
(West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem) in a surprise attack against Jordan,<\/p>\n
Syria, and Egypt in June 1967. But terrorism was used by both Jews and<\/p>\n
Palestinians in the 1930s and 1940s against the British and each other in the<\/p>\n
struggle for independence. Two future prime ministers of Israel (Begin & Shamir)<\/p>\n
were commanders of Jewish terrorist organizations in the 1940s (like the<\/p>\n
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat today).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
