So the Israelis retaliate for this, and then the Palestinians will
retaliate for that (I mean, "what would you have them do?"), and then
the Israelis retaliate for that, and then....

Sorry, but as rough as it seems, the thing will only end when someone
is big enough *NOT* to retaliate.

It's very, very clear that reacting with violence not only doesn't
help, but makes the situation worse.  That's why under Sharon's
policies we've seen the situation spiral away into worse and worse
shape.  The only thing I can think is that Sharon really doesn't want
peace, because he seems to do *exactly* the wrong thing at every
turn.  Or at least, if it's not that he doesn't want peace he must be
the stupidest national leader on the planet (which is saying a lot).
