well, according to electronic intifada, the second intifada started either in sept. or october 2000. i'm not sure which because it says on it's site timeline, that "On February 23, 2001, The Electronic Intifada website was launched five months after the beginning of the second Palestinian Intifada and shortly after the election of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "
so right now your being revisionist in what has happened. the current conflict started a year before 9/11, and the tanks had nothing to do with the start of renewed hostilities, they'd already been going for year. i'm not saying whether it was right or wrong for them to do that.
i posted this hoping to start a discussion about arafat and the role he's played up to this point and what people think now that he's said this. if you don't have anything to say on that subject, please refrain from posting. thanks.
here's the link that i got the above quote from.

Yes Israel rolled tanks into the occupied territories on 9/11, but let's not call each other names over it. unjust was nonetheless probably wise and certainly inevitable.
