Why is Palestinian Terrorism on the Rise?

[quote]

A planned terror attack in Israel was thwarted on Sunday evening, for the third time in several days.

According to a report on Channel 2 News, Border Polices officers arrested a 17-year-old Palestinian Authority Arab teen at a checkpoint near the Tapuach junction in Samaria. Upon inspection, the teen was found to be in possession of three pipe bombs. The teen was arrested and taken for questioning, while the explosive devices were detonated by sappers in a controlled explosion.

The latest foiled attack comes just several days after the IDF foiled two attempted terrorist attacks in Samaria, one of which was foiled in the same Tapuach junction.

[end quote]

Three terrorism attacks in three days. Luckily, God is protecting Israel, and all of these attacks have been thwarted.

Here are my questions:

Does this represent an increase in terrorist activity?

If this is an increase in activity, what would be the reason the terrorists would be stepping up their activities?

Is it unusual for the terrorists to be teens? It seems to me the Pro-Palestinians must not be anxious to let it be known that the reason Israel seems to be arresting and killing teens is because those teens are murderers, (even if they are youths) in serious need of a dirt nap.

Update 2:

Terrorism is defined as violent attacks perpetrated against a perceived enemy, with civilians being the primary intended target, with the purpose of terrorizing the populace and causing them to capitulate and/or surrender to the demands of the terrorists. I do not permit ANY excuse for terrorism at all. I don't care if your daughter was the victim or an Israeli strike against a legitimate Palestinian target and your daughter happened to be walking by at the time, or if she was struck by falling debris from the explosion aimed at the terrorists (as was the case with France's citizens a few months ago.) There can be NO excuse for targeting civilians as the primary target. For the record, I do NOT consider the attack on the Cole, the Marine Barracks in Beirut, nor the King David Hotel to have been acts of terrorism, since ALL occurred against legitimate military targets with military personnel as the intended primary target. 9-11 was purely a terrorist attack, even the attack agai

Update 3:

Somebody said, "You are just ungrateful MORON..."

We should be grateful for terrorist attacks against CHILDREN!? We should actually be grateful for the terrorists being in shallow graves, sooner rather than later. Another person said that if "Palestinians" want Israel to stop arresting Palestinian children, then the Palestinians should stop sending their children out to murder innocent Israelis. Israel has a RIGHT - a God-given RIGHT - to defend her citizens, even against 'children' of Palestinian parents. These "abuses" of Palestinians can end as soon as the Palestinians stop attacking Israel. The fences, the shortages, the blocked shipping and fishing, can ALL end when Palestinians stop attacking Israelis. Oh, and the Palestinians have used ambulances to transport bombs into Israel, so there are always legitimate reasons for the actions of Israel; not always sop for the Palestinians.

Again, the questions were:

Does this represent an increase in

Update 4:

Fascism defined: A political ideology wherein the businesses are privately owned but the business decisions are made by government, as opposed to socialism where businesses are both owned and run by government. Who here has advocated fascism?

What HAS been advocated here is taking a harsh stance against terrorism, and on the other side, blaming the victim as the 'cause' of terrorism. Please get with the program.

Here are my questions:

Does this represent an increase in terrorist activity?

If this is an increase in activity, what would be the reason the terrorists would be stepping up their activities?

Is it unusual for the terrorists to be teens?

    Palestinians,those fake Philistines,aim at destabilizing Israel.

    They used massacres of Jews ,before Israel achieved freedom,in dozens of villages and towns,wiping out the Jews of Hevron,and Gaza and Old Jerusalem.

    They used war,with 6 Arab States and local Arabs attempting to strangle Israel at it's rebirth.

    They lost land,soldiers and the best Russian Armaments each time.

    They initiated the biggest Propaganda campaign in history,with recently Palliwood ,using every conceivable lie and distortion.Thy got the support of all the frustrated Jew Haters ,Nazi's , and leftist dupes to try to destroy the Israeli economy.They failed miserably.

    They used terrorism, blowing civilians to smithereens on streets,schoolbuses and in their beds.They used Ambulances to convey arms and bombs.

    Israel erected barriers for the half a million Arabs from Judea and Sharon who worked and killed Jews in Israel.The Palestinian killing was stopped.

    Leftist Israeli Governments than offered "Peace for Land".Israel offered most of liberated Judea and even parts of it's undivided capital to them.They rejected it.They wanted all of Israel."By hook or by crook."

    Israel withdrew from Gaza.They responded with a state of War and a bombardment of 13,000 Russian and Iranian missiles onto Israeli civilians.Israel defended it's citizens against the terrorist,who used children as human shields and then claimed that no combatants, only children ,were killed when Israel returned fire at the hundreds of launching sites.They want us to believe the lie,these missiles were not fired by combatants but had been fired on Israeli targets of their own accord.

    Now they have entered into a new phase sending out youth or young men,the product of indoctrination from childhood, to commit terror and stoning of family vehicles and school buses.

    Israel has two stark options .Either capitulate ,or arrest and imprison any person who attempts to maim or kill whether by bomb or rock.And never exchange these terrorists "with blood on their hands".

    Perhaps Israel should depart from it's refusal to introduce capital punishment for terrorism and follow the Arab (and Palestinian) use of judicial killing.

    They are trying to tell you that they are alive, and want back what was stolen from them; their freedom and their homeland.

    It is true that Israel is recognized by the West as a legal state, but for those Heroes it is an illegal state of illegal immigrants occupying their homeland. They see that their duty is to free their homeland by all means. They are freedom fighters, no matter what you call them. You are in the wrong place, not them.
