Allison Kaplan Sommer on the Israeli man-on-the-street’s reaction to downing Yassin:

Whenever I challenged someone with the old arguments, by saying, “But aren’t you worried about the retaliation? Don’t you think this is going to provoke some terrible terror attacks? Isn’t it just going to make things worse?” the response was the same: “And you think that if we DIDN’T kill Yassin there wouldn’t be terror attacks? What exactly has been happening up till now? Every day they are trying to attack us? How exactly could it GET any worse?”

That is what these three-plus years of Intifada have done to the Israeli public.

Following the generous offer of a Palestinian state in 97% of West Bank and Gaza, we’ll add. There’s a sense of having tried everything, but receiving only more terror in return.
