Israel had little choice when the suicide bombings began, imo, but to use a heavier and heavier hand. What alternative did it have, if Arafat moved to using terror tactics instead of relying on dialogue (which he had agreed to) to achieve his ends?

LOL! Arafat didn't use terror tactics.

After 6 weeks of settlers going on violent rampages, backed up by the Israeli military, some extreme factions of Palestinians began to fight back. The Palestinians merely reacted to Israeli violence. You want the Palestinians to reward Israel's terrorism with concessions? That wouldn't send a very good message.
