Israel tries to calm nerves in the West Bank, but outbreak of third intifada depends on Palestinian Authority

Keep USA hands off, for a change.

Every single Palestinian ever killed by IDF is on your conscience, israel. You have blood on your hands.

and put he blame on their poor victims..... Well, the victims and people around the world are not fools and they will continue to hold the land thieves and war mongers accountable and call for others to boycott and sanction them and force them out , if necessary. Dutch

Has the right and duty to rise up and fight by all means his opressors. Israel's secuirty does not mean impunity to everything evil that Israel does. If you want security , it cannot be on the ruins of other people's insecurity , opression , lack of freedom and rights. The recipe for the status quo is disasterous.....

the third intifada does not depend on PA but on israelis... like the comatose Sharon who incited the first deliberately. the israelis always like to paint themselves as victims. always the other side's responsibility. haaretz no different, obviously

Surely it would yet again give Bibi the ammunition he needs to argue that the Palestinians can not be true partners to a peace process. So why is he trying to prevent a break-out? Maybe, a third intifada could just be the trigger that is needed to end the occupation. It would once again focus world attention on the conflict, put the spotlight on Israel's policy of expanding the settlements and its obvious intention not to seek a 2-state settlement - and this time maybe the rest of the world will finally come to its senses and say enough is enough. Netanyahu's strategy of doing nothing and maintaining the status quo might finally be terminated - by others.

The outbreak of the third intifada when it happeneds will depend on Israel not on the Palestinian authority. Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people, the occupation and the building of illegal settlements is what will fuel the third intifada. As long as Israel is allowed to continue with its crimes and nothing is done to stop Israel, this will also bring about a third intifada.

No matter what happens of small incidences; who killls whom what treaty or peace negotiation takes place, all that is in vein and remains a drop in the sea of history. Until occupied Palestine comes back to the Palestinians and they would give jews what they decide is right, then there shall be no peace. Israelis remain the victims of an illusion called PRESENT TENSE!

It kills Palestinians at will and now has taken to Torturing Prisoners who have not even been charged with a crime--not as if that concones Torture. Israel is doomed if it does not have violence to cover it,s land theft and slow Ethnic Cleansing. Time the world recognised just what Israel and it,s people are---land thieves and a Rogue Nation gone wild.

It is perfectly logical to expect riots when a government tortures people to death! Get over it already!

as usual Israel trying to blame others for their misery and illegal occupation.

N Korea and ISRAEL? Are you for real? Syria has killed more Palestinians and Syrians in 2 years (almost 100k) than Israel has in 80 YEARS. China executes prisoners on a monthly basis and holds hundreds without bail or representation. Egypt actively hires men to sexually assault women. Zimbabwe actively built 'rape camps'. And the list goes on. And yet you single out Israel. Your logic is flawed and your bias is so blatant no one can take you seriously.

Bibi says, "Tell your people to make an immediate and more dignified approach toward the constant humiliating oppression and perpetual denial of rights and countless abuses of the last 6 decades - anything less will be considered anti-semitic."

Samaria? That says it all !

Seems like a fair fight.

"calm nerves" , "agitated", "recent events" , "the current fire" ... The writer here seems out of touch with the reality.

Palestinians has never been of any concern to Israel.

end the occupation,go back to the 1967 line,remember the holocaust,remember the nazis,remember the thousand years of persecution your people have endured,stop the settlement,stop the killing of innocent people,behave like human being,share the land with their rightful owners.Be good please

For Palestinians to up the ante. With the forthcoming visit by the US Sec of State, Netanyahu wants to downplay Palestinian issues as much as possible so as to continue his policy of population transfer of Jews into residual Palestine for as long as is possible. He doesn't want to draw any attention to this and wants to remove Iran as a threat to total Israeli hegemony in the region. If a hunger striker dies he should be given a dignified Palestinian state funeral, attended by 100,000's.

Then Israel can move on to becoming an important and progressive nation. In the region and the world the citizenry is crying out for this.

outbreak of the 3 rd intifada depends on whether Israel ends its illegal occupation of WB & Gaza..

Withdraw your army and settlers from all Pal lands, release all POWs from your prisons, and no third intifada will happen. It's simple as that.

.... even though it's a Palestinian who died inside an Israeli prison. But somehow it's Israel who is wearing the White Hat, and it's the Palestinian Authority who are The Bad Guys. Who knew, heh?

The Israelis do not understand that no one makes a decision to start an intifada, not the PA and not any palestinian party, intifada starts when the people get enough of the israeli aggression.

The whole objective of the intifada's was to protest against the inhuman actions of the Israeli occupation!

Israel is not responsible for what is happening in the WB ? Is that what this article is saying ? You can't be in your right mind ? It is Israels Responsibility if a third Intifada breaks out. Apparently everything is prepared for that to happen.

... how about starting with your own Shin Bet "interrogators"?
