A little history, then statistics follow:
"Rome tried to obliterate the millennia-old Jewish state in the first century, but unlike other nations conquered in ancient times, the Jews survived and never lost their profound attachment to their land of origin. Jews lived in the land of Israel continuously for 3,000 years. Those forced into exile expressed their yearning to return in their daily liturgy and prayers. For 2,000 years, many came back in periodic waves of immigration. By the late 1860s, Jews once again were the majority in Jerusalem." --Israel 101, pp.4
Gamla is evidence of an ancient Jewish city in the Golan Heights where, in 67 A.D., Jews fought to the last person against the Roman army. Thousands of inhabitants were killed. Others jumped to their deaths from Gamla’s cliffs to avoid capture and certain slavery. The city was destroyed and never rebuilt. --Israel 101, pp.4
When the Romans defeated the Jews in 70 A.D., they built the “Titus Arch” in Rome to commemorate their victory. The sculpture depicts the booty the Romans took when they ransacked and destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem. The Roman victors named the conquered Jewish region “Palestine.” --Israel 101, pp.4
"In the first century, the Roman empire defeated the over 1,000-year-old nation of Judea, destroyed its Holy Temple in Jerusalem, and exiled hundreds of thousands of Jews. To erase all memory of Judea, Rome renamed it 'Palestine' after the Jews' biblical enemy the Philistines...Afterwards, Westerners refereed to the Jewish-Christian holy land as Palestine. Arab peoples did not widely adopt the name 'Palestine' until the 20th century. Though the name had always been associated with Jews, in the 1960s it became associated with the Arab Palestinian national movement." --Israel 101, pp.6
1920-1921 - Arab Riots/Terrorism in the early Mandate Period: Palestinian leader Haj Amin al-Husseini repeatedly fomented riots against Jews. In the 1920 incidents, six Jews were killed and 200 wounded; in 1921, 43 Jews were killed and 147 wounded. In response, Jews organized defensive forces that would later become the Haganah, the forerunner of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). --Israel 101, pp.12
1929 - Massacres instigated by Haj Amin al-Husseini: Mobs attacked Jews in Jerusalem, Safed, Jaffa and Kfar Darom, a kibbutz in the Gaza Strip. The centuries-old Jewish community of Hebron was destroyed, and 67 Jews were slaughtered. British authorities reported incidents of rape, torture, beheadings of babies and mutilation. British High Commissioner John Chancellor wrote, “I do not think that history records many worse horrors in the last few hundred years.” In total, 135 Jews were killed, and 350 were maimed or wounded. --Israel 101, pp.12
1936-1939 - Great Arab Revolt: With the support of Nazi Germany, Haj Amin al-Husseini led a three-year rebellion against the British, the Jews and his political opponents to force an end to Jewish immigration and land purchases. An estimated 415 Jews, 200 Britons and 5,000 Arabs were killed. --Israel 101, pp.12
1947-1948 - "UN Resolution 181 recommended partitioning the remaining Palestine Mandate between Arabs and Jews...Arab leaders rejected the offer to create another Arab state in the Mandate and instead went to war to seize the whole area and eliminate Israel." --Israel 101, pp.7
1948-1949 - Israel’s War of Independence: On May 14, 1948, the British Mandate ended, and the State of Israel was established. Less than 24 hours later, Israel was invaded by the armies of five Arab nations: Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon and Iraq. The newly formed Israel Defense Forces (IDF) managed to defeat the invasion in 15 months of war that claimed over 6,000 Israeli lives, roughly 1 percent of the total population. --Israel 101, pp.12
It is important to note that the newly re-born nation of Israel had no defenses except its citizens, who used a combination of surplus military weapons to successfully defend against five Arab national standing armies.
After the 1948 war, no Jews were allowed to live in Arab-occupied zones. Jordan took control of the West Bank and refused to protect Jewish holy sites. In East Jerusalem alone, 57 synagogues, libraries and houses of learning, many of them centuries old, were desecrated and destroyed, their stones later used to build urinals, sidewalks and roads. --Israel 101, pp.14
1949-1956 - The Fedayeen Raids: Arab terrorists (fedayeen), trained and equipped by Egypt, repeatedly attacked Israeli civilians from bases in Lebanon, Gaza and Jordan. One thousand three hundred Israelis were killed or wounded in terrorist attacks. --Israel 101, pp.12
1949-1967 - "When the 1948 war ended, Jordan annexed the area it renamed the "West Bank," while Egypt occupied Gaza. Both areas remained unallocated areas, portions of the former British Mandate. With these ceasefire borders, Israel was only 9 miles wide at its center, leaving its population centers vulnerable to military and terrorist attacks. In the 1950's and 1960's, Arabs opposed to Israel's existence repeatedly launched attacks from Syria, the West Bank and Gaza." --Israel 101, pp.7
1956 - The Sinai/Suez War: Egypt increased its fedayeen attacks, prevented Israeli shipping through the Suez Canal and blockaded the Israeli port of Eilat, violating
international law and threatening Israel’s economic survival. With the support of France and Britain, Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza. Israel completely withdrew six months later when Egypt assured Israel unimpeded navigation and safety. --Israel 101, pp.12
1959 - Al Fatah Raids: The Egyptian-born Yasser Arafat formed Fatah in 1959 to conduct guerrilla warfare operations against Israel. In 1965 Fatah adopted “the entanglement theory,” which presumed that its repeated attacks would force Israel to respond aggressively against the Arab states hosting Arafat’s fighters, thereby escalating the animosity between Israel and her Arab neighbors. --Israel 101, pp.12
1964 - Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Formed: The PLO was formed in Egypt, supported by the Arab League as an umbrella organization for anti-Israel militant groups. In 1968, Arafat’s Fatah joined the PLO and eventually dominated it. Over the decades, the PLO carried out thousands of attacks against Israelis and others around the world, including the first airplane hijackings. --Israel 101, pp.12
Since it’s founding in 1964, the PLO’s explicit goal had been to replace Israel, not to live alongside it.
1967 - The Six-Day War: Israel was forced to defend itself when Syria, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq intensified their terrorist attacks and Egypt illegally blocked Israel’s access to international waters and expelled UN peace-keeping forces. The four Arab countries mobilized more than 250,000 troops, armed with Soviet-supplied tanks and aircraft, on Israel’s borders in preparation for a full-scale invasion. The Iraqi defense minister ordered his troops to 'strike the enemy’s civilian settlements, turn them into dust and pave the Arab roads with the skulls of Jews.' Israel preempted them in a defensive war and managed to capture the West Bank from Jordan, Gaza and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, and the Golan Heights from Syria. --Israel 101, pp.13
1967-1979 - "In 1967, when Israel's neighbors again mobilized for a full-scale invasion and blocked her waterways, Israel preempted them in a defensive war. In six days of fighting, Israel captured strategically vital buffer zones: the Golan Heights, the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza and the West Bank. Israel immediately offered to negotiate with Jordan, Syria and Egypt and return land for peace. Arab governments refused to talk or recognize Israel. In 1973 Syria and Egypt launched a surprise attack to destroy Israel on Yom Kippur and were again defeated." --Israel 101, pp.7
1967-1970 - The War of Attrition: Shortly after the Six-Day War ceasefire, Egyptian President Gamal Nasser ordered attacks on Israelis in the Sinai. During the three-yearlong conflict, 1,424 Israeli soldiers and more than 100 Israeli civilians were killed. --Israel 101, pp.13
1972 - The Munich Massacre: After 1967, Palestinian terrorists attacked Israelis worldwide. In their most public operation, the group Black September held hostage and murdered 11 members of the Israeli Olympic Team at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
It is widely accepted that the terrorists were controlled by Yasser Arafat’s Fatah faction of the PLO. --Israel 101, pp.13
1973 - The Yom Kippur War: Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack against Israel on the holiest day of the Jewish year. Caught unprepared, the IDF nonetheless
managed to fend off this assault, cutting off Egyptian forces across the Suez Canal and pushing Syrian troops back from the Golan Heights. While Israel was victorious militarily, the human toll was devastating — 2,688 Israeli soldiers were killed in the nearly three weeks of fighting. Egypt claimed to have restored its own honor because of its success in the war’s first 48 hours. --Israel 101, pp.13
1979-2008 - "Hoping to foster peace, Israel relinquished the entire Sinai Peninsula, which it had captured in 1967, to Egypt in the 1979 Camp David Peace Accords. In 1994, Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty. Using a 'land for peace' model, Israel and Palestinians tried to negotiate for a future Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza. By the time Arafat began the violent Second Intifada in 2000, 98 percent of Palestinians lived under an autonomous Palestinian government. Seeing it had no peace partner and hoping for progress, Israel withdrew unilaterally from Lebanon in 2000 and from Gaza and parts of the west bank in 2005. Nonetheless, following these withdrawals, Israel was continually attacked by Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank and by Hezbollah from Lebanon." --Israel 101, pp.7
1981 - President Anwar Sadat of Egypt was assassinated by Egyptian extremists for striking a peace deal with Israel.
1981 - Mumia Abu-Jamal (born Wesley Cook) shoots and kills Philadelphia, PA police officer Daniel Faulkner.
1982-1985 - The Lebanon War: After Jordan expelled the PLO in 1970, it [PLO] entrenched itself in southern Lebanon. During Lebanon’s ensuing civil war (1975-1990), PLO attacks on northern Israel intensified. Israel entered Lebanon in 1982 to root out the organization. The PLO was forced to relocate to Tunis. In 1985, Israel withdrew to a security zone, approximately four miles wide along the border, and stayed until it unilaterally withdrew in 2000. By 1982, 95,000 people had already died in the bitter Lebanese civil war. During this civil war, Lebanese Christian Phalangists entered the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatilla and massacred an estimated 460 to 700 people, including 200 PLO fighters. Although no Israelis were involved in the massacre, an Israeli court determined that Israel and General Ariel Sharon had indirect responsibility for it because the IDF did not stop the Phalangists’ entry into the camps. --Israel 101, pp.13
10/23/1983 - Islamic Jihad, which would later become Hizballah, bombed the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon: Innocent death toll - 220 U.S. Marines, 18 sailors, and three soldiers.
1987-1991 - First Intifada: The PLO initiated the Intifada (“shaking off”) after false rumors of Israeli atrocities circulated through Palestinian territories. Palestinians claim this was a nonviolent uprising, but it quickly turned violent with 27 Israelis killed and more than 1,400 Israeli civilians and 1,700 Israeli soldiers injured. Almost half (1,000) of the Palestinian casualties were caused by other Palestinians in the “Intrafada,” or internal, fighting among Palestinian factions. --Israel 101, pp.13
1991 - Persian Gulf War: When the U.S.-led coalition fought to get Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, Hussein attempted to draw Israel into the war and fired 39 Scud
missiles into Israel. To avoid disrupting the U.S.-led coalition, Israel did not retaliate. --Israel 101, pp.13
1992-1997 - In the five years after the Oslo Accords were signed, Palestinian terrorist groups opposed to the two-state solution killed 282 Israelis, far more than the number killed (216) in the entire 15 years that preceded the Accords. --Israel 101, pp.23

In June 2006, terrorists from Gaza tunneled into Israel, killing two soldiers and kidnapping one. Two weeks later, Hezbollah, supported by Iran and Syria, attacked Israel across the internationally recognized Israeli-Lebanese border, killing eight soldiers and kidnapping two, simultaneously launching a barrage of rockets against civilian towns in northern Israel. Israel responded with a military operation that lasted 34 days. --Israel 101, pp.13
