Israel Security Service Failure Leads to Terrorist Attacks

According to the article "Jewish terror attacks are the outcome of Shin Bet failure," recent tension in Israel due to the removal of Jewish settlers from certain parts of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip may have been two Jewish terrorists motives for killing 8 Arabs. However, the negligence of Israel Security Service, or the Shin Bet, may have enabled these recent attacks to occur, as the chief of the Security Service admitted himself. Apparently it was known that one of the terrorists was a member of an anti-Palestinian extremist group, yet the Israeli government did not prevent him from being in the army. This probably allowed him either access to weapons or military training, though the article is not explicit on this point.

My guess is, however, that these terrorist attacks would occur no matter what either side of this conflict did or did not do. It's painful and very sad to see two cultures hate each other so intensely that they cannot even live in the same area without killing eachother, and I don't see an end to this conflict any time soon, unless drastic action of some sort is taken.
