War for ‘Palestinian’ succession means more Jews will die

Defeated in election, Lapid-Gantz government cannot “understand the rationale for the current terror campaign.” Beating Netanyahu was more important than fighting Palestinian terrorists.

“The main reason for the massive rise in Palestinian terror attacks, which began early this year, is the widespread expectation that ailing PLO chief and Palestinian Authority boss Mahmoud Abbas is on his last legs. In anticipation of Abbas’s passing, the war of succession between the various Palestinian terror factions has begun. The signature feature of the Palestinian war of succession is that the targets of the violence are not rival terror groups, but Jews. Each Palestinian terror group vies for power and control by killing as many Israeli Jews as possible. 

 

“Wedded to the delusion of the two-state paradigm, which blames the Palestinians’ pathological hatred for Israel on Israel, the outgoing Lapid-Gantz government cannot understand the rationale for the current terror campaign. So, rather than adopt a counter-terror policy relevant to the onslaught we are facing, the Lapid-Gantz government has sought to subcontract Israel’s operations to the P.A. security forces, which themselves are engaged in the attacks, both directly and indirectly, since they are also vying for positions of power in a post-Abbas P.A. The results of this policy: A bullet to the head of a 13-year-old girl.”

Defeated government was riddled with ideas of “Let them riot,” and, “If we give them what they want, they will settle down.” Voters said otherwise.
