When Will They Learn?

... Sharon, like Yitzhak Rabin and Ehud Barak before him, rendered his political fortunes completely dependent on the whims of the terrorists.
As a result, he cannot admit that what Abbas is doing is not simply antithetical to peace but also manifests a strategic threat to Israel's security — and indeed, to global security. If Sharon were to tell Israelis the truth about Abbas and his terrorist chums or about their Egyptian sponsors, he would be admitting that all his detractors in his own political camp were right all along.
The Israelis don't seem to have the sense or the will power to finish the terrorists. Instead, they again and again try to make a deal with the terrorists and in return get a mirage. In the meantime, the terrorists rearm and restart the killings of innocents.
Why are (most of) the Israelis so bloody naive?
