“it suggests that Palestinian politics has not moderated but actually has become radicalized during the peace process” This succinct phrase helps explain a lot. The peace ‘process” itself has created additional serious problems. It is impossible to see how Israel can engage in a further peace “process” until UNRWA is abolished, Arab incitement is stopped (and reversed) and Israel offered compensation and military support for having to put up with an untenable situation due to the failure of the international community to address the root cause of the conflict.
Israel should make it a clear precondition that even if a new state is established in Judea and Samaria, Jews will still live there. This area is not the Sinai or the Gaza strip. If the Arabs cannot create a state where Jews can live freely and with full human rights they do not deserve a state. In spite of receiving more foreign aid than was supplied to Europe in the Marshall plan, there is no evidence that the Arabs can create such a state. Rather the contrary, evidence suggests that at the current Arab society cannot build such a state. I get that one sometimes wants to reward failure even when success goes unrecognized, that is a part of life. But in this case, rewarding failure means the destruction of Israel. Never again should really mean never again. And liberal Jews need to understand that it should also mean NOT RISKING never again.

The Palestinians have been caught frequently engaged in fauxtography and outright lying in their reportage. It did not work. This is the next step.

Though this runs counter to the approved narrative, it surprises approximately nobody, give or take zero persons.
