Revision as of 02:11, 19 February 2007 by Amoruso (talk | contribs) (West Bank and the Gaza Strip)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)'October 2000' is the standard neutral short-hand used to describe events that took place inside Israel following Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount or Haram al-Sharif. While Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip began what is now known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada, Arab citizens of Israel mounted violent protests that resulted in the killings of 13 Israeli Arabs by Israeli police.
Some Israeli media outlets refer to the events as "The October 2000 Riots" . Arab citizens of Israel refer to it as هبة أكتوبر or "The October Ignition" .
The Or Commission was established to investigate the root causes for the events of October 2000, and specifically, the police response to the popular demonstrations and other disturbances.
