2. How do you come to the conclusion that those things are true?
Let's go through them one by one:

"No historical context regarding the illegality of Israel's colonizing settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip is provided."

Gotta agree that one's very true...


"Israel retaliates, while Palestinians provoke."

That's what the mainstream media would like us to believe. If Israel wasn't illegally occupying Palestinian territory, it might be easier to fool people into believing it was true, but that combined with other actions carried out by Israel make it a blatantly false line...

"Yasser Arafat inexplicably turned down Ehud Barak's unprecedented generous offer and incited the current intifada out of spite towards Israel."

Generous offer, my arse! Please read this and come back and explain how that was a generous offer.

"The United States is an impartial peace broker."

How can you believe that's true when a Presidential candidate was given a shellacking for saying that the US should be even-handed when it deals with the conflict?

"Relative quiet exists when it's only Palestinians who are dying."

You really think that's true?? I sure hope not....
