Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a world-renowned expert on terror, needs experts to understand that the burning of a major mosque by Jews will spark a larger conflagration? As Haaretz reported on Sunday, prominent Mideast experts met with the prime minister to administer this warning, along with a warning that building 850 new housing units in the West Bank, as a "patriotic" response to the evacuation of Beit El's Ulpana neighborhood, will indirectly lead to the outbreak of a third intifada.

Three assumptions are behind the experts' warning: one - that Netanyahu and the military and civilian agencies working with him do not want a third intifada. Two - that Netanyahu is the right address for such warnings. And three - that the Palestinians take in stride any non-religious ill that our hostile regime inflicts upon them.
