What an appalling bit of pro-israel propaganda.
All this talk about how Israel's intelligence agencies were turned to the task of Palestinian terrorism without a single mention of why these palestinians, an occupied people on their own land, might resort to force.
Then there's the almost gloating tone they took to the planned murder of a 12 year old boy, justified by "jewish blood will not be spilled with impunity"
I wonder if the author will take the same attitude when Palestinians assasinate an Israeli soldier in retaliation for the countless airstrikes and starvation campaigns conducted against the palestinian bantustans.

(A) Because everyone knows why; how can someone read the New York Times and not be aware of the Palestinian cause? (B) Not everyone agrees that terrorism and electing terrorist-supporting politicians (Hezbollah, etc.) is a reasonable way to solve problems > an occupied people on their own land Do we only care about recent history here? —- Exhausting to have otherwise seemingly intelligent folks so consistently make this into a black and white issue.
