Where Is the Third Intifada Headed?
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - Religious incitement, which was the main generator of motivation for Palestinians at the beginning of the current wave of terrorism, has now been upgraded with two powerful motives: The thirst for revenge (for relatives who were killed), and the desire to imitate terrorists to enjoy the fame they received and become "martyrs." At the same time, the older Palestinian public hasn't joined the younger Palestinians and is not helping them. At times, adult family members even try to stop the youth from committing an attack in fear of Israeli punitive action, or to prevent the certain death of their family member. In addition, the attention of the Arab world has long been directed elsewhere and it is not ready to mobilize for the Palestinians.
