The of the leader of the Palestinian Hammas movement, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, was assassinated on March 23, 2004 as he left the Islamic Association Mosque in Gaza City. Helicopters fired three missiles at him, killing him, his three bodyguards and seven civilians. Yassin was sixty six years old, blind, and was leaving the mosque in a wheelchair. Condemnation of the attack has came from many governments, except of course the United States.
When Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are not actually being threatened by Israel’s army or bombing, they often have to deal with Israeli bulldozers destroying their homes without provocation. There are also settlers who try to enter Palestinian territory and build small villages, then act pretend the violence is unprovoked when they become the targets of militants. Some of these settlers will go so far as to suggest that Palestinians have no historical right to the land. Arabs were living on the land long before the Hebrews arrived in the area after their exodus. And when the Zionists first arrived on the ship, Exodus, in 1948 the area had a majority of Palestinians; the Zionists drove the Palestinians from their homes by deporting them, using violence and placing them into internment camps. When this information is considered it can be seen that the idea of the Palestinians not having a historical right to this territory is nothing short disinformation.
