The Palestinians policy of carrying out terrorist attacks exactly when the prospect of settling the Israel-Palestinian dipute by peaceful negotiations seems brightest is not aimed at putting an end to the Peace process as many people, especially Israelis think.
Terror attacks show, however that the Palestinians want more than peace, they want peace by submission. This kind of peace is valuable because it affirms the honor of the Palestinian nation and honor, as everyone knows is very important in Arab society. We only need to look at the number of wives and daughters who have been murdered to save the honor of an Arab family.
If Israel gives up territory in response to a terror attack or demolishes a settlement or places a moratorium on the building of settlements as America and Europe are constantly demanding it promotes the honor of the Arabs.
If giving up territory etc. is achieved in a peaceful atmosphere Arab honor isn't satisfied. Submission must be achieved and that can only be achieved when relinquishing land or building takes place in the wake of terror or war.
The only way that the Palestinians can feel strong is when terror or war brings Israel to its knees.
Either the Palestinians can't distinguish between peace and submission or they can but they want peace as an instrument of submission and eventual oppression, a very popular phenomenon in Arab societies.
Citizens of practically all the Arab countries are right now struggling, most unsuccessfully to rid themselves from oppression and here, in Israel, the so called bright enlightened nations like Europe and America are demanding that the free country of Israel succomb to that same sort of Arab oppression that the citizens of those countries are suffering from and are trying so desperately to break free from..
Oppressing Israel would give them a feeling that revenge has been achieved.
As far as the Palestinians are concerned peace can only be established with Israel after revenge has been achieved as when two families who have been at war with each other peace may only be acieved when revenge has been taken.
In their way of thinking there can't be peace with an enemy who has harmed you and you haven't avenged the harm. Harm and injury must be avenged. Honor requires this vengeance.
