Yeshayahu Leibowitz, the Israeli public intellectual, said in a speech in 1980:
"The corruption of occupation does not stop with the occupiers - it also deforms the lives of the occupied Some may even be driven to acts of terrorism. I cannot bring myself to moral outrage over this fact, because such resistance is a natural consequence of colonial rule. Occupation breeds rebellion; rebellion breeds terrorism; terrorism provokes counter-terrorism; and the cycle continues.
