The stabbings prove the friction is real, and it is also at a high level. Don't minimize it, turn it on the trouble makers, and maximize it. Israel's enemies keep asking for trouble. Give it to them.

It is nice of Ynet to have mentally retarded staff members like Ron Ben-Yishai.

reducijng friction- arabs want israelis out of t heir palestine lock stock and barrel. Then they will resume killing their arab brothers as normal routine. ben yishai like olmert, livni and herzog does not understand what arabs want. No concessions or talks with abbas will help. They feel and say that they find israelis in general passive and weak. And only when israel is on a cliff and led by sharon types will idf show its true colours and beat the hell out of the, That is the language of the middle east, not ben yishai's make nice bullcrap.

killings. naive, wrong stupid perspective and advice. typical leftist ideology.

There should be an event to do so, only I'm sure they would not let anyone in because it would only cause a riot.

Before dealing with israel, I advise you read the Kol Nidre. Where lies and deception are part of the state religion. And history has shown these is true.

since they're the ones who end up with more deaths and worse off after each one. 'Intifada' is no longer a threat and it shouldn't be taken as one.

Why would you want the U.S. Involved in anything to do with Israel? Don't you know we have a president that hates you? Many Jewish people here also!

US/EU - please stop PA - No US/EU - here take more money. Now stop? PA - Yes but only for a few months

"an appeaser is one who feeds the crocodile, hoping to be eaten last." the current wave of attacks is NOT spontaneous, but carefully calibrated and orchestrated from ramallah. so no amount of "reducing friction" will solve anything. what will help, is to find a way to apply leverage at the source of the problem, the muqata. it doesn't matter whether the pressure is military, or political, so long as it makes these attacks too costly for the plo to sustain.

Israel is not responsible for the new violence, the Palestinians are. The proper response is to make the price too high without regard to what the New York Times, BBC, or the phony Human Rights Groups say. Stop punishing IDF troops who make mistakes under pressure. The International Community and International Opinion are phony concepts otherwise what the people of Syria are suffering would not be allowed. BDS and the threat of isolation of Israel are also false fears, nobody gives up anything substantial for another people or country. The biggest victims in all this are the Palestinian people who have led generations of misery imposed not by Israel but by their rotten leaders aided by foreign money. Although Crazy Khomenei can say anything, the thugs who run Iran are not going to give up their lives and comforts for the Palestinians.

Palestinlnas love this they don't want peace what have they done towards peace just look back And it takes TWO to tango

the edge of the earth. that should be your concern.

Bibi has exactly zero desire to listen to the USA. He has been extremely nasty to Obama from day one. As for the Palestinians, they have FINALLY figured out that the USA has no control or even minor influence over Israel and that Israel will do everything it can to destroy Palestine. There is no basis for discussion and no reason for the USA to even be in the ME, let alone in a room with Bibi. Bibi has not only burned every bridge with the USA, but dynamited the rubble.

Your gibberish is NOT professional, (I'm really embarrassed for you) Mr. Yishay - and your KAPO interests in career far exceed your love for your fellow Jew. Blech.

What teeth?

call the shots, when to start or end an "intifada"! The Arab occupiers do and continue to effectively run our daily lives. be the Arabs within Israel or the organized terrorists from Gaza!

Israel need merely stop supporting fictional "Palestine" and let it fall. No more intifadas ever!

It is not the government of Palestine that is causing he problem but the many angry individuals living under Israelis domination. Until Israel treats EVERY HUMAN living west of the Jordan River equally, there will be violence.

Gottah take atction which requires balls. Israelis lost their balls.

that is an insult to the retarded people...
