A little trip down memory lane, for what it's worth.... Let us not today fling accusations at the murderers. Who are we that we should argue against their hatred? For eight years now they sit in their refugee camps in Gaza, and before their very eyes, we turn into our homestead the land and the villages in which they and their forefathers have lived. We are a generation of settlers, and without the steel helmet and the cannon we cannot plant a tree and build a home. Let us not shrink back when we see the hatred fermenting and filling the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs, who sit all around us. Let us not avert our eyes, so that our hand shall not slip. This is the fate of our generation, the choice of our lives.... Moshe Dayan, 1953

Historically, Israeli strategists have understood Israel's chances of survival get slim if drawn into a war of attrition, and Palestinians believe, after Lebanon, that they can provide just that type of war. The CSM article points to a fresh euphoria in the ranks of the latter. Good point. It's also a good response to those morons (I name no names) who say, the Palestinians are committing suicide, gee, they must be utterly desperate. Reality check: desperation does not usually result in euphoria.
