(Interactive Map): Mapping the dead in latest Israeli-Palestinian violence

Source: Al Jazeera

Tracking the human toll of the wave of violence in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel.

Since the beginning of October, 42 Palestinians have been killed in shootings and clashes with Israeli forces in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel, while seven Israelis have been killed in knife and gun attacks.

Rights groups have warned that Israel is using excessive force against Palestinians and that some of the incidents amounted to extrajudicial killings.

The violence has been triggered in part by recent visits by Jewish groups to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, coupled with Israeli restrictions on Palestinian access to the mosque, one of Islam's holiest sites.

Frustration is also mounting as Israel continues to build Jewish-only settlements throughout the West Bank, taking over Palestinian lands, in defiance of international law.

Please.

Cause and effect in reverse, as if Palestinians have no choice but to stab and kill Jews due to Israel killing 42 innocent Palestinians for no reason.

It's an upside-down world with the insane reporting coming out of there.
