Once the #SecondIntifada turned violent in the face of state repression, #Hamas let loose a series of horrific attacks on civilians, like on #ThisDayInHistory in 2003, with the #HaifaBus37Bombing. 17 Israelis were killed, 53 wounded, with many of them #UniversityOfHaifa students.
The #SecondIntifada began nonviolently, but by design media focussed on things like #ThisDayInHistory in 2002, when #PFLP set off a nail-studded suicide vest in a shopping mall in the illegal #WestBank settlement #KarneiShomron, killing three teenagers & injuring 27 other people.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 2004, #YasserArafat, long-time head of the #PLO, died in a suburb of Paris. The #Palestinian leader had fallen ill in October and was taken to France for medical care. In the years prior he was a virtual prisoner in #Ramallah due to the #SecondIntifada.
