This is what Israelis are up against. It's impossible to understand the conflict without acknowledging what's really behind the terror attacks.

Following the shooting, Salma al-Jamal, a Palestinian news anchor working at Al-Jazeera TV, wrote on Twitter: "The Ramadan operation is the best answer to stories about 'peace process'."

Palestinians in the West Bank and east Jerusalem took to the streets to celebrate the deadly terrorist shooting in Tel Aviv on Wednesday night that left four people dead and several others wounded. Upon hearing the reports of the shooting, dozens of Palestinians gathered at Damascus Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem, singing out loud and cheering the gunmen. In the West Bank city of Tulkarm, many young men took to the streets and distributed candies to the local drivers, while in the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in Bethlehem dozens of Palestinians participated in a march praising the terror attack.

Palestinians also expressed their joy on social media networks, where they created the hashtags “#Carlo Bullet,” after the name of the improvised submachine gun used in the attack, and “#Ramadan Operation” to laud the horrendous terror shooting.

Another popular hashtag on Palestinian social media networks was “#We broke the fast killing them,” referring to the fact that the two gunmen broke their Ramadan fast in the restaurant where they later shot people.

Following the shooting, Salma al-Jamal, a Palestinian news anchor working at Al-Jazeera TV, wrote on her Twitter page: "The Ramadan operation that took place today is the best answer to stories we have been hearing about 'peace process' that some people are trying in vain to revive."

It's evidence like this that leads Israelis into thinking peace is not possible at this time.

This woman is a Palestinian hero.

4. PA condemns terror attacks, fails to mention Tel Aviv shooting

Palestinian presidency issues carefully-worded statement, 'reaffirming its rejection of all operations that target civilians from any background regardless of the justifications.'

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4814111,00.html

True to form, some media are reporting Abbas condemned this latest TLV attack when he did no such thing.

Abbas is a big part of the problem.

7. CNN says "motive unknown" for murdering 4 Israelis

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/08/middleeast/israel-tel-aviv-shooting/

Information about a motive wasn't immediately available. No intelligence suggested an attack was imminent, Rosenfeld said.

Willful blindness that does nothing but perpetuate the conflict.

8. UN Security Council condemns Tel Aviv attack for the first time since current terror wave

This was the Security Council’s first official condemnation of a terror attack carried out by Palestinians on Israelis since the beginning of the current wave of violence that begun this fall.

The UN is a big part of the problem.

9. Thanks for putting this together in one thread

There is really a lot of evidence that the Palestinian leadership is at best not doing enough to discourage and at worst encouraging (or directing) these terrorist attacks. The reason this is important to realize is not to say who is good or who is bad, but to say that in order to make peace more feasible, there needs to be political / societal/ social pressure from the civilized world to get the Palestinian side to take the more civilized path. I would say there is already an awareness of the possibility of bringing such pressure on the Israeli side. If Palestinian leadership can put away the terror card, the brainwashing card, the incitement card, their other political cards will play much better and there will be much more fertile ground for negotiations.
