Read the article.

It doesn’t specify Terror’s “Causes”.

Maybe because Terror’s Cause is Islam, as interpreted by a wide swath of muslims.

"Israel and The Jews."

Now, let's see if I was right....

Yep:

The think tank also pressed for a genuine commitment to a viable two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The Mighty Carnak is never wrong....

The term “root causes” always makes me want to vomit.

It’s pure deconstruction right out of Derrida or Foucault: The perpetrators are blameless, the victims are guilty, the only thing that matters are power relationships. Despicable.
