From the website of the Middle East Monitor (MEMO), a pro-Hamas publication by the BBC, this article looks back on the Second Intifada on the seventh anniversary of its outbreak, recalling the causes, major events, and aftermath of the violent Palestinian uprising against Israel. The article looks to the failed Peace Process, frustration over life under the occupation, and Ariel Sharon’s provocative visit to the Al Aqsa Mosque compound as major causes to the conflict. It claims that Israel used excessive force and indiscriminately killed Palestinian populations, citing the controversial alleged murder of 12 year old Muhammah Al-Durrah, The article concludes that the Palestinians gained very little from the Second Intifada, still suffering from Israeli occupation, the growth of the settlement movement, the rift between Hamas and Fatah, continued failed peace talks, the Separation Barrier, the sealing off of the Gaza Strip, and a general frustration at their continued state of vulnerability and political limbo.
