I wish you were right.

I am afraid Hamas and the Jihad would not allow the Israelis
to think with what nature has given them just to do that.

The Islamists have already proved, in the past, they have very
efficient ways to make the Israeli public think rather with
their guts, like, for instance in 1996, when they sent B. Netanyahu
- whose last position in an Israeli government had been Deputy
Foreign Minister -
to the PM Office, instead of Shimon Peres,
the pre-election favourite.

"The main catalyst in the downfall of the latter was a wave of
suicide bombings shortly before the elections."
