Read all about it Now that Israel has done exactly what the Palestinians have said it will take to stop the murder, the murder begins again. I remember an Iranian friend of mine sending me a series of pictures in which it did appear a Palestinian was shot by Israeli police while his arms were tied around his back. I was one of about 50 on the distribution list. I replied (to all, of course) that maybe, just maybe, one of those Israeli soldiers was the one who tried to help a very old woman after the bombing of a Passover dinner in a restaurant, only to find her legs had been blown completely off. A fact even the old woman hadn't known (she only knew she couldn't get up). The soldier knew she would die and had to set her back down while she watched and begged him to help her. Maybe, just maybe, this is how the recursive murder begins. But I suspect the hatred and horror of daily life in this part of the desert is irreversible. And Israel could give Palestine 12 gigillion dollars in diamonds, gold, and Euros and it wouldn't stop. And the Israelis will continue to respond with like brute force (who would stand for the endless murder of one's loved ones). And so it goes on, forever.
