History

Historical Context

In September 2000 the Second Intifada began, and within weeks the October 12 Ramallah lynching—where a crowd killed two Israeli reservists—triggered massive Israeli raids on PA sites. The attack injured 13 Palestinian policemen, and UN Security Council Resolution 1322 condemned the violence. The recent Maoz Yehuda Farm stabbing echoes that cycle of retaliatory violence.
