Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu said attempts to explain Palestinian terrorism as motivated by despair were “incorrect.”
Terror attacks “don’t come because of their despair and frustration over their inability to build. They come because of their despair and frustration over their inability to destroy,” he said on Sunday. Such a claim of desperation “exonerates the Palestinians from being responsible for their actions.”
He noted that Arab attacks on Jews in Israel in the 1920s “started because of the claims of (Yerushalayim’s grand mufti) Haj Amin al-Husseini that the Jews were about to destroy the al-Aqsa Mosque and build the Third Temple in its stead. Sound familiar?”
