Элисон Каплан Сомер, американская журналистка, живущая в Израиле последние десять лет, пишет в своём веблоге о реакции израильской публики на ликвидацию шейха Ясина. Вот отрывок (но стоит прочитать всю запись):

Obviously, everyone thinks that its morally justified, as he is directly responsible for so many murders.

But what has changed is the calculation as to whether or not it was strategically wise.

Whenever I challenged someone with the old arguments, by saying, "But aren't you worried about the retaliation? Don't you think this is going to provoke some terrible terror attacks? Isn't it just going to make things worse?" the response was the same: "And you think that if we DIDN'T kill Yassin there wouldn't be terror attacks? What exactly has been happening up till now? Every day they are trying to attack us? How exactly could it GET any worse?"

That is what these three-plus years of Intifada have done to the Israeli public.

They see that when we try to make nice and compromise we get terror attacks. And when we're tough and aggressive we get terror attacks. [...]

We're not running scared. We're just sick and tired of this.

Она очень точно уловила то, о чём я вчера мельком упомянул в комменте, но не развил эту тему. Настроение изменилось. Не только правые, но и центристы, и умеренно левые не считают более важным или разумным задумываться о том, что утихомирит палестинцев, а что их разозлит. Тех террористов, с которыми мы имеем дело, утихомирит только одно — метко направленная ракета или пуля. И пока они задают тон в палестинском обществе, ничего в этом не изменится.
