Many managed to get used to the sad news from this country. The media has long ceased to classify terrorist attacks in Israel as sensational. It is believed that it cannot be otherwise. But is this really so?
Islamic terror
Amid a sharp escalation of Islamic terrorist activity in a number of major cities in Western Europe, news from Israel is on the periphery of public attention. Few people think that the people of this small Mediterranean country have been confronting the same enemy every day for several decades every day that the people of Paris faced this fall.
Behind high-profile events in the French capital, terrorist attacks in Israel went unnoticed again. October in this country is again marked by great casualties. They have become something familiar and do not cause the indignation with which the world perceived the explosions and automatic bursts in France and Belgium.
From the history of the issue
As you know, the state of Israel existing today was created, according to the UN decision, in May 1948. A significant role in its creation was played by the support of this decision of the United Nations by the Soviet Union. But the decision to create a new and only Jewish state in the world categorically did not suit the Arab environment of the former British Mandate Palestine, as this territory was officially called in the short historical period between the two world wars.
War on the new state was declared the day after its proclamation. And in a sense, it does not stop to this day.
The Arab countries, despite the crushing defeat in three full-scale military conflicts, have not abandoned their intention to "throw Israel into the Mediterranean Sea." And this is the only reason that terrorist attacks in Israel regularly occur to this day. The war of the
Arab world against this country took a perverted terrorist form.
Arabs in Israel
Currently, more than one and a half million Arabs live in Israel. It is only about those who are citizens of this state. This is the second largest ethnic group in the country. And more than three and a half million Arabs live in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. A significant part of them travel daily to jobs in Israel. This is due to the structure of the country's economy and autonomies at its borders. Almost all terrorist attacks in Israel are committed by representatives of this ethnic group. Thus they continue their war. The complete destruction of Israel and the Jews. They are not stopped by the fact that the Arabs are killed more than those whom they cut or blow up.
According to the ideas of the Islamic fanatics about the beautiful - each of the heroes who died in the name of Allah in a Muslim paradise is expected by 72 beautiful gurus. And eternal bliss. And all those who commit acts of terrorism in Israel are sent straight to their arms. It is such a simple motivation that those who send new martyrs to the cities of Israel operate.
From the history of terror
Everyone who happened to be in Israel could pay attention to the plaques and other signs that marked the places of terrorist acts and deaths. Islamic terror in this country began even before its official proclamation. The Jewish people have traditionally been persecuted for many centuries and in many countries. But after gaining his statehood, he openly confronts everything that threatens his existence.
Terrorists are constantly forced to change their tactics. The latest terrorist attacks in Israel, as a rule, are carried out without the use of explosive devices and firearms, which has become difficult to deliver to the territory of the country. And so the martyrs took up the knives. Today, they consider their secrecy of preparation and the surprise of attacks their advantage.
Confrontation
Measures to counter Islamic terrorism are systemic in Israel. The entire population of this small country is ready to counter terrorism. The recent series of terrorist attacks in Israel has clearly demonstrated this. Despite the loss of life, the terrorist failed to achieve the main thing - there is no panic and a sense of imminent disaster in the country. Everyone is busy with their usual activities, but they do not lose their vigilance. The fact that danger can suddenly arise from any direction has long been accepted by everyone as a matter of course. And therefore, the framework of metal detectors at the entrance to public institutions has long been familiar to everyone. As well as a large number of armed people in police and military uniforms on the streets and intersections. Quite often, they manage to use their weapons before the terrorists.
