TERRORISM
The Arab extremists bent on destroying Israel learned the power of terrorism during the British Mandate period. Terrorism was not only an effective political tool against the Jewish state which weakened it internally; it produced external pressure against the nation from the international community.
The desire to eradicate Israel in the 20th century fueled the rise of several Islamic extremist factions. Fundamental to each of these terrorist groups was an anti-Semitic interpretation of Islamic theology that left no room for acceptance of the state of Israel, the Jewish people and consequently the possibility for peace.
