Dr. Assaf David explains how the Palestinians in the West Bank perceived the close of Operation Pillar of Defense as a victory for Hamas, a result destructive to a two-state solution. David describes how, for Palestinians, the operation proved once again that “Israel only understands force.” This is all the more true when the Palestinian Authority's political tactics are denounced by Israel as “state terrorism”. David warns that “the meekness of mind rampant among the Israeli left will be met by a buildup of the same on the Palestinian right.” [HEBREW]
