We are a tiny country, and as a result, all Israelis live close to terror.<\/p>\n<p>We have learned a few things from this, one of them being that, to a certain degree, terrorism works \u2014 it is terrifying, and one must accept that and try to get on with life. I have sometimes told people that when it\u2019s good, Israel is the greatest country in the world; when it\u2019s bad, well, it\u2019s hard. We are in a hard moment right now. The best we can do is to put our faith in the security services, be vigilant, and try not to jump every time we hear a loud bang or something that sounds like an air raid or police siren.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Three_reasons\"><\/span>Three reasons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Why we are in a hard moment is a more difficult question.

He is not wrong. The Palestinians, at the moment, have little or no political horizon. The peace process has been frozen for years, and the Israeli government \u2014 which may be about to fall \u2014 is too weak to take any significant action on the issue. The \u201cstatus quo\u201d shows no signs of changing any time soon.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nihilistic_violence\"><\/span>Nihilistic violence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A great deal of this, ironically, is the Palestinians\u2019 own fault. Had they accepted Ehud Barak\u2019s peace offer in 2000, they would have already had a state for 22 years. Instead, they chose a campaign of terrorist atrocities that mortally wounded the peace process.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two decades of low-intensity conflict, missile fire and periodic mayhem have not changed this. Israelis today are, if anything, even less likely to give up on what little strategic depth they have in hopes of peace with an enemy they do not trust. Nonetheless, in the face of such an impasse, an eruption of nihilistic violence is morally reprehensible but not necessarily surprising.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/PCN_Suspected_terr_681002979.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"An Orthodox Jewish man reacts as Israeli security forces search for shooters after a suspected terror attack on Dizengoff Street in central Tel Aviv.\" class=\"wp-image-21850891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/PCN_Suspected_terr_681002979.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/PCN_Suspected_terr_681002979.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/PCN_Suspected_terr_681002979.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>An Orthodox Jewish man reacts as Israeli security forces search for shooters after a suspected terror attack on Dizengoff Street in central Tel Aviv.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Ilia Yefimovich \/ Avalon<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How long this eruption will last and how bad it could get are currently unknown \u2014 let\u2019s hope not much longer and not much worse.
