So is this a new way of dealing with international disputes? Complain, denounce, threaten—and leave it at that?

It took me a whole book to explain what went wrong (“Broken Spring,” Gefen, 2014), but the parallels with the Palestinians are striking.

This problem,,,may not have a solution, Nothing Israel can do, or would be permitted to do, would stop the barrages for long.

Frustrated by decades of Palestinian obstinacy, moderate Arab nations were finally moving to put the Israeli-Palestinian issue behind them.

"Yet Israelis keep voting on security, the the real issues are domestic, including relations with Diaspora Jews."

"In other words, both the apoplectic left and the ecstatic right have it wrong."
