Because Ben Yishai loses historical perspective and forgets the past, his interpretation is wrong. The escalation did not begin with the murder of the three boys. The escalation began when Abbas received major concessions from Livni and Netanyahu and was then asked to agree to an end of conflict. Abbas walked out of the talks and allied with Hamas as a first step for launching the pre-planned Intifada we are now seeing. To cover its failure and remove bad press from the headlines, the Israeli government started inciting against "settlers" with the Price Tag and Yizhar blood libels. Taking advantage of the incitement and discord it caused, Hamas cells (independently or under orders) kidnapped the boys, and apparently murdered the homosexual in Shuafat to start a cycle of violence that will end with more Israeli concessions. Sound familiar? After Barak surrendered all Israeli interests, agreed to massive Arab immigration into Israel and begged for "end of conflict", Arafat launched the Second Intifada first with riots, then the murder of an Ethiopian Jew and eventually massive violence including the Park Hotel atrocity. To cover their failure, the corrupt Barak government blamed Sharon for the riots, ignoring what really happened.

Please make war on war, war against war.

... they are pushing their narrow agenda that will bring the whole nation and region into conflaguration... However Netanyahu is equally cupable with criminal negligence and refusal to go after the right-wing terrorists... Isn't Netanyahu the same tinoffit that stood by at right-wing rallies while Y. Rabin z"l was being called a Nazi in 1995? what sort of courage or leadership could be expected from a sleezebag like that??

Remember ISM activist Vittorio Arrigoni's death in Gaza, which was at first glance qualified an action of Mossad, and proven to be a homophobic murder.

You should have grown out of this way of thinking long ago.

You are talking about the despicable and disgusting picture of Rabin dressed as an SS officer during a Likud rally. Netanyahu could not have seen the picture: there were more than 100,000 people at the rally. The picture was made and shown to the press by GSS agent Avishai Raviv on the command of the Leftist Carmi Gilon. Sadly, the sleazebags Gilon and Raviv never got punished for their disgusting criminal acts.

Except that it turns out that Mohammad Abu Khdeir was murdered by his own family who felt that they were disgraced by his homosexuality. All those Arabs who called for Israel to bring his murderers to justice and for Israel to destroy the homes of his murderers ... I hope they haven't had a change of heart.

When Israel stops paying homage to Fictional Palestine, most Israeli problems will vanish. Pretending a hostile imaginary terrorist entity has legal rights to the tiny Jewish Homeland is the root cause of almost all Israeli suffering.

I misspoke in my previous post.

From the Bible we learn about the Tribes and their Wrestling for Power .The Split of the Kingdom because of the Huge Taxes for the Temple of Solomon and Solomons sons arrogant and criminal answer not to reduce the taxes but in fact vastly increase them revealed a very nasty side to human nature.The Smart will allow the initial justified anger to steam out and hope it settles .Chances of peace based on significant land swaps Judae and Samaria for Islamic Israel on a Federated Basis with the Jews Controlling External Security the Arabs won't accept it .They want Belligerant Rights and in Gaza and Judae and Samaria have Smuggled them in .The Best Scenario is a stalemate but better conditions for Jews and Arabs maybe later a defacto Federated Structure based on a long truce with more unihabited land and caves for Jew and Arabs .Cities built out of caves are possible as well as sky scrappers as in New York and Dubai even New land constructed in the Oceans.

a ballon bursts if it is full of air and use a small pin or more air insie but the cause of burst is mainly the inflate ballon ..........

How do you know that the boy was murdered by his own family.It is not mentioned in the news.

Learn to write proper English.Go back to school.

inflating the balloon: Jewish-Israeli extreme Left supporting racist PLO instead of normal Arabs. pin prick: periodic PLO outburst of violence with Leftist support to intimidate Jews to surrender.
