The Palestinian society is split into two - those who are openly calling for Israel's destruction like Hamas, and those who are not calling openly for Israel's destruction but refuse to confront those who do.

And they don't take that necessary plunge.

Goodness is either the great safety or the great danger - according to the way you react to it. And we have reacted the wrong way.
