     In a way I almost agree with you.  First I would point out that
the actions you refer to are "Israeli," not "Jewish," and your use of
that phrasing puts your mindset in question.
     But yes, the hard-line Palestinians count on the Israelis to
over-react and thereby cause more terrorism, and the hard-line
Israelis count on the Palestinians to carry out more terrorism
thereby making other Israelis less likely to pursue initiatives for
peace.  And if things really look like they are moving towards a
settlement (which of course doesn't meet the desires of the hard-
liners on either side), they are not beyond taking an action to
derail the peace process, be it terrorism or assassination or some
other act which, though nonviolent, is calculated to infuriate.  And 
yes, I am talking about Ariel Sharon.
