The extremists and the hard core individuals who will not allow anyone to change their position and will stand in arms against those who dare challenge their sacred positions all stand to gain from the violence. The moderates are being trampled by the loudness of the bullets, tear gas, the rocks, and the cries of the deceased relatives. The Palestinian Authority looks on and encourages the violence with either their indifference or tacit approval depending on whom you ask or talk to. The Israelis continue to shoot rubber bullets and tear gas at Palestinians who demonstrate and throw rocks or Molotov cocktails at Israeli positions. The supposedly non-lethal weapons have been quite lethal as over 100 Palestinians have been killed throughout the last two months and there will be investigations into how the Israelis could have prevented this bloodshed.
Nothing is absolute.
The sooner both sides recognize this and pull away from the brink, the better.
