Israel dan terorisme yang disponsori negara

Israel dituding terlibat dalam aktivitas terorisme yang disponsori negara,^[1] serta melakukan tindakan terorisme negara secara rutin sehari-hari di wilayah jajahan mereka di Palestina.^[2] Negara-negara yang mencap Israel sebagai negara teroris atau negara pendukung terorisme antara lain Bolivia,^[3] Iran, Lebanon,^[4] Arab Saudi,^[5] Suriah,^[6] Turki,^[7] dan Yaman.^[8]

Contoh awal tindakan yang disponsori negara Israel adalah Peristiwa Lavon tahun 1954, sebuah rencana pengeboman yang didukung negara yang gagal di Mesir yang menyebabkan pengunduran diri Menteri Pertahanan Israel pada saat itu. Pada tahun 1970an dan 1980an, Israel juga merupakan pemasok utama senjata kepada rezim diktator di Amerika Selatan, Afrika Sub-Sahara, dan Asia. Pada abad ke-21, Israel dituduh mendanai dan mendukung beberapa kelompok teroris sebagai bagian dari konflik proksi mereka dengan Iran.

In its struggle against Palestinian and Shiite terrorists, Israel generally relied on assassinations carried out by its special forces or on military reprisals, but also provided arms, training and military assistance to local militias such as the right-wing Phalange. Like other militias involved in Lebanon's civil war, Phalange carried out numerous terrorist attacks. The most notorious was the massacre of Palestinian civilians at Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps near Beirut in 1982.

It is reasonable to conclude that until all appropriate steps to prevent IDF abuse against unarmed Palestinian civilians are taken by authorities, Israel is culpable and guilty of using state terror tactics.
