The official summation of the Or Commission report

• The events of October 2000 shook the earth. The
  riots in the Arab sector inside the State of
  Israel in early October were unprecedented.
  Thousands participated, at many locations, at the
  same time. The intensity of the violence and
  aggression expressed in the events was extremely
  powerful. Jews were attacked on the roads for
  being Jewish. these developments did lead to
  retaliatory Jewish riots.
• The state and generations of its government
  failed in a lack of comprehensive and deep
  handling of the serious problems created by the
  existence of a large Arab minority inside the
  Jewish state.
• Another cause was the ideological-political
  radicalization of the Arab sector. These
  processes were expressed in various expressions
  of identification with and even support of the
  Palestinian struggle against the state.
