Of course Egypt does that too, so even if an Arab country has a peace treaty with Israel incitement continues. That is one thing that convinces me that if Israel ever looks too weak, Egypt will resume attacking Israel without the slightest advance notice.

The Palestinians need to replace their social systems with ones that do not descend into murderous fury the instant anyone accuses a Jew of drinking blood, rather than ending all incitement (which will not be accomplished without eliminating all dissent as well). But what are the odds that we'll ever actually suggest they change their culture, let alone do anything to bring it about? None at all, sadly.

What -- he won't? Oh, but I thought he was into fairness and even-handedness and all that sort of thing....
