I know there were. Even before 1948.
But those had some political goal, some statement. And no one shot up Paris because the Palestinians were mistreated by Israel.
Today we got them gunning down people just because and not to release some Ahmed bin Whatshisnameini from Mosad prison.

Our hands are not clean when it comes to this mess.
Thinking that would be naive. But on the other hand, blaming ourselves completely and thinking we deserve this would be moronic.
Defeatism and denial are not a combination to fight this threat.
