Before you fall prey to the typical liberal brainwashing that Israel is evil and the poor Palestinians are nothing but victims of Israeli atrocities, check out this 2006 report, via Comcast.net Forums
American Victims Since September 1993
"Palestinian Authority [PA] should be placed on the list of international terrorist organizations.
Since September 1993, when Arafat signed the Oslo peace accords on the White House lawn with President Clinton, 18 Americans have been killed by Palestinian terrorists in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank.
Until late 1998, PA made a show of occasionally arresting some of these killers. But in a Nov. 6, 2000, interview on Palestinian television, Arafat's police chief, Ghazi Jabali, boasted that not even one of these known terrorists still was in a PA jail. All had been released as violence between the two sides escalated and peace talks broke down.
The American victims of Palestinian terror:
Sarah Blaustein, 53, from Lawrence, N.Y., killed by Palestinian gunmen in a drive-by shooting near Efrat, May 29, 2001.
Jacob ìKobyî Mandell, 13, of Silver Spring, Md., one of two teen-agers murdered by Palestinian gunmen in Tekoah, south of Jerusalem, May 9, 2001.
Binyamin Kahane, of New York City, and his wife, Talia Hertzlich Kahane, murdered in a drive-by shooting near Ofra, Dec. 31, 2000. Five of their children, all U.S. citizens, were wounded in the attack. The Israeli police announced they had captured three members of Arafatís Force 17 ìpresidential guardî who confessed to the killings.
Esh-Kodesh Gilmore, 25, murdered in Jerusalem on Oct. 30, 2000, by terrorists allegedly from the same Force 17 unit that murdered the Kahanes.
Dov Dribben, 28, a father of four from New York City, murdered by Palestinians near the town of Maon, April 19, 1998.
Rabbi Hilel Lieberman, 36, a father of seven from New York City, murdered while trying to rescue Torah scrolls from the Tomb of Joseph, a Jewish holy site near Nablus, as it was being destroyed by a Palestinian mob on Oct. 8, 2000.

Most Palestinians despise America. Watch how they celebrated after the horrific 9/11 attacks:

Lets not forget the amount of Americans killed by Israel. There was the American peace activist run over by a bulldozer, CRUSHED TO DEATH. There were also the 30+ civilian technical staff of the USS liberty, attacked and nearly sunk by our 'ally' Israel.
Palestinian terrorists killing Americans is terrible. It is also terrorism. The IAF strafing a US ship, not a warship, but a communications ship with no armament then launching a torpedo attack is a bit more horrific. Military operated construction equipment running over a civilian protester is also, at least in my opinion, horrific.
Israel isn't evil, it's a country. Palestine isn't evil, it's a country. My point is to indicate that PEOPLE in a country are the ones that could be called 'evil' Israel performs horrific acts with military force. Palestinian crimes are mostly supposed terrorist attacks. Shame on both groups for their misdeeds, but lets not blame the entire populace of either country, as the occupation of space within a set of borders, the color of ones skin, or ones religious beliefs do not make the people within that area of land or belief evil.
Don't forget Daniel Wultz, 16, who was critically injured in a suicide attack on a falafel stand on April 17th, 2006 and died a month later from his wounds.
To Anonymous:
How dare you equate the purposeful targeting of civilians by Palestinian terrorists to the fate of Rachel Corrie who flung herself in front of an Israeli bulldozer. The two are completely incomparable. She placed herself in front a moving bulldozer and deserves a darwin award for her own stupidity. There was no way the driver of the bulldozer could see her or have the time to stop. Daniel Wultz on the other hand was doing nothing but sitting at a restaurant eating with his father when a 16 year old boy (you must be evil to convince a 16 year old to blow himself up) waked in and detonated his explosive belt.
And save us your USS Liberty garbage. Congressional investigations have exonerated Israel and no one but conspiracy theorists even believe that any more.
Not one of these was an American. All were Diaspora Jews who'd returned to Israel.
@finrod - If you ever said that about Rachel Corrie and did so in front of me, I would destroy you.
Also - the USS Liberty attack was a purposeful attack. Anyone who gives more than 5 minutes at looking into the attack fully understands it was no accident and the Israelis knew who they were attacking.
If Israel didnt know :
1- Why did they jam US radio frequencies
2- After following the ship for over 6 hours before the attack, how could the Israelis not know?
3-Why did the Israelis use unmarked aircraft?
4- Jets came within 30 yards of the ship during the attack, are Israeli pilots so poor and incompetent they would be unable to understand the giant US flag flying on the ship and the US letting on the side of the ship were American?
5- During the 6 hours prior to the attack, Israeli boats followed and several air reconnaissance planes trailed the ship. How do these planes and ships not recognize this very unique ship? This ship, the most modern naval ship in the world and a ship which looked like no other ship and a ship the Israelis knew.
6- Helicopter gunships came within 30 yards of the ship and strafed the lifeboats sailors were deploying in preparation of being sunk. How do they not see the US lettering or the US flag?
7- Has Israel ever attacked Western targets before?
8- Did LBJ increase US troop involvement in Vietnam over a staged (phony) Vietnamese attack on a US ship?
9- Did Israel just begin the 1967 war v Egypt and other Muslim nations before the attack on the USS Liberty?
10- Did Israel want the US to join the war v the Arabs when they attacked?
11- Would Israel have placed blame for the ships sinking on Egypt and would LBJ have declared war on Egypt if given proof Egypt sunk the Liberty?
12- Have you ever heard of the King David Hotel Bombing or the Lavon Affair? What were the goals of Israel when they committed the King David Hotel Bombing and the Lavon Affair?
