Been going on a long time. Worse now but the terror was there from the beginning. As the other poster said, how else are you going to conquer a land with people already there? It's a built-in feature, not a bug.

Funny story, I just saw a headline "IDF announces counter-terror operation in North West Bank...". I nearly jumped out of my chair thinking FINALLY! I thought for a moment the recent labeling of settlers by the head of Shin Bet as terrorists harmful to the state was producing some results. Sadly I was mistaken.
