If the Palestinians fail, they will most likely turn again to violence: a third intifada, bigger and with greater international support than the first two. Israel will have no option but to repeat the horrors of recent Gaza wars on a much larger scale, filling the world’s media with images of dead children, destroyed schools and hospitals, and heavily armed Israeli troops taking on rock-throwing teenagers.
如果巴勒斯坦人失败，他们极有可能再次转向暴力：第三次起义，这次的规模将更庞大，并且比前两次得到更多的国际支持。耶伦将别无选择，只能在大得多的范围上重复最近的加沙战争的恐怖，给全球媒体大量体现儿童死亡、学校和医院被毁、重装以色列军队碾压投掷石块的孩子的影像。这是以色列及其朋友不可能愿意看到的。
