JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's prime minister is vowing to take a "heavy hand" against a wave of Arab violence and has accused the Palestinian president of fomenting the unrest.

In a nationwide address, Benjamin Netanyahu said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has incited the recent violence.

Earlier Tuesday, Abbas accused Israel of leading the region toward a "religious war."

Netanyahu said Abbas is not a "partner" for peace and said Israel would take tough new measures against Arab demonstrators.

9. Tell me, who, then, is Israel's Palestinian "partner for peace"?

Are those mean old Palestinians going to continue to oppress the poor Israelis forever?

Israel didn't like Arafat, so they supported Hamas.

Then they didn't like Hamas, so they supported Fatah and Abbas.

Then Abbas had the nerve to seek Palestinian unity and the long-promised Palestinian state, so now they don't like Abbas.

Honestly, I don't think Israel wants peace. It just wants the Palestinians to accept perpetual subjugation.

12. Israel does not want peace.

From Gideon Levy:

Israel does not want peace. There is nothing I have ever written that I would be happier to be proved wrong about. But the evidence is piling up. In fact, it can be said that Israel has never wanted peace – a just peace, that is, one based on a just compromise for both sides. It’s true that the routine greeting in Hebrew is Shalom (peace) – shalom when one leaves and shalom when one arrives. And, at the drop of a hat, almost every Israeli will say he wants peace, of course he does. But he’s not referring to the kind of peace that will bring about the justice without which there is no peace and there will be no peace. Israelis want peace, not justice, certainly not anything based on universal values. Thus, “Peace, peace, when there is no peace.” Not only is there no peace: In recent years, Israel has moved away from even the aspiration to make peace. It has despaired utterly of it. Peace has disappeared from the Israeli agenda, its place taken by the collective anxieties that are systematically implanted, and by personal, private matters that now take precedence over all else.
