...the Muslim Brotherhood's activities in the West Bank generally are limited to the universities.

Their activities in these areas are generally nonviolent, but a number of small groups in the occupied territories have begun to call for jihad, or holy war, against Israel.

When the Palestinians see no improvement in effective support of their aspirations from other countries and no likely favorable change coming from the Israelis, they engage, throughout 1987, in small-scale demonstrations, riots, and occasional violence directed against Israelis.

The Israeli authorities respond with university closings, arrests, and deportations.

The Begin and Shamir governments have gradually abandoned Moshe Dayan's old policy of leaving the Palestinians alone.
