I thought they attacked Israel because the U.N. gave Israel their land, and they took it as an affront (similiar to the U.N. giving texas to mexico). And what about the fact that Israelis were terrorists 20 years before the palestinians? i am new to this whole issue of israel/palestine.
Well, Palestine, which was formerly a territory of the Ottoman Empire, was under the control of the UK after WWI and was designated as a Jewish State. There were proposals to partition the land to let the Arabs who were living there, who call themselves Palestinians now, have a state too, but the Jordanians and Syrians gobbled it all up.
I'm not sure what you're referring to about Israeli terrorists 20 yrs before the Arabs.
