Palestinian Leaders Not Paying Price for Promoting Terror
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, former head of the Research Division of IDF Military Intelligence, said Monday that a decision by PA President Mahmoud Abbas last year to talk about "dangers" to the Al-Aksa Mosque in Jerusalem was a way to signal to Palestinians that he wanted "popular resistance." There was no explicit order to commit acts of terrorism, but Abbas did "act in a way that allowed everyone to understand what he wanted." Israel, for its part, should "increase the pressure on the Palestinian leadership," and not make due with only responding directly to the terrorists, Kuperwasser added. "There is no price for encouraging the Palestinian public to continue carrying out attacks. I think this is too soft."
