This is an absurd statement. The US has every right to ask Israel to back its strategy against terrorism and Israel has every right to say "No". If you are going to fault somebody other than the terrorists themselves, then it would be in Israel's own leadership. But obviously, Israel's leadership found that the benefits to backing the US's play, outweighed the liabilities. It is not so absurd to believe that Powell's statements, which differentiate between the terrorism of Al Quaida (bad, must be utterly destroyed) and the terrorism of the Palestinians (bad, but should be overlooked for the sake of the "peace process") have actively encouraged Arafat & co. to turn up the flame on the terror. Why not? What is the downside for them? Powell is protecting them. The way they figure it, in the best case, Powell may wring out concessions from Sharon, such as insisting he negotiate under terror. In any case, the terror will definitely help Arafat reclaim the leadership role of the Palestinian cause from bin Laden.
