Israeli hardliners do not want peace, not then not ever. By getting the Palestinians up against a wall and driving them mad with frustrated rage they can ensure a reaction from them that gives them the only excuse they can fabricate to get more of those lands...it's worked. Americans are convinced that Palestinians are worse than animals...as the Christian Nazis and the Church had Europeans convinced the Jews were vermin.
But how else could the Jews expand their borders if not by seeming to be defending themselves. The world is barely ready now to contemplate an agressive and murderous Israel...taking its place right up there with the other great Murdering nations on earth.
Peace was never the objective and from the Palestinian and the American viewpoint was the last thing they wanted.
