Are we allowed a thread on the Palestinian attacks in Jerusalem?

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said it "praises these heroic operations in Jerusalem and greets the heroes who carried them out."

Or will it all kick off on here again?
 
While terrorist attacks are wrong, when you have a vastly over powered nation basically trying to wipe you out its inevitable,

The average age in Palestine is 18, because Israel has killed all the older people ( directly or indirectly ), there are going to be some very angry messed up kids in that country willing to do what ever they feel it takes to get revenge.

About 0.2% of the Palestinian population of the West Bank and Gaza have been killed since the 1st intifada in 1987. I'm sure that some of the 99.8% that haven't been killed are older people.

Thats why I added the directly/indirectly part, a lot of it will be the insanely poor conditions they are living in resulting in dieing younger than they should, There are other contributing factors to the average age but one of the main ones is the fact that Israel keep bombing them into the stone age.

Question is, How long before IS claim this attack as theres in a bid to drag Israel into the Syrian conflict.

Wrong again, according to the UN average life expectancy in Palestine is 72, about the same as neighbouring Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia and about five years older than the world average. It ranks about mid way in all the countries of the world.

Most of my info was based on Media reports the last time Israel decided to bomb them, got any links to the UN report stuff?

Either way, its pretty much proven, bombing them only causes more problems.

According to this the life expectancy difference between Israelis and Palestinians in the same territory is 10 years lower for Palestine, and the gap is increasing

I am aware that life expectancy is higher in Israel than Palestine but that was not what the discussion was about. As I said Palestinian life expectancy is broadly similar to all its other neighbours which sort of disproves your assertion that Israel has killed all the older people and is trying to wipe out the rest.
 
Oh it does not just kill older people, women an kids are right up there on the target list ;0(.

Seriously, you want to argue that their life expectancy is "Broadly similar" when they are under constant attack from indiscriminate bombing and missile attacks in their own home ?.

first off, Im not talking life expectancy, im talking average age. and the news was from C4, ITV, the John Snow report and the like, nothing strange.

The average age is 18 because the birth rate in Palestine is one of the highest in the world not because old people have been killed off.

Not arguing anything, just providing facts.

Actually Israel has a higher life expectancy in spite of indiscriminate bombing and missile attacks from Gaza.

Youth populations are growing rapidly right across the Middle East. It has nothing to do with all the older people having bombs dropped on their heads.

It's the median age rather than the average, which is the age at which half the population are above and half below. And it's slightly higher than Palestine than in neighbouring Jordan.
