Il there is a general economy of violence. Ex nihilo nihil : nothing comes out of anything. There is always a history. This economy, alas, knows only one principle: negative – reciprocity. When injustice was brought to its peak, when the group experienced mass murder and, perhaps worse, the invisibility of mass murder, how could he not get out of it a vengeful hatred ? Strategic rationalities – derail Israeli-Arab normalization, reinstall the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the international scene –, if they are real, nonetheless found among their resources the fuel of deadly revenge.
