Sternhell: ‘Jewish Terrorism Is Now the Threat to Israel’

This is from the British Telegraph, on Ze'ev Sternhell, recovering from injuries in a pipebomb attack in Jerusalem from what he believes to be "Jewish terrorists":

But Prof Sternhell said what is new is a younger and more radical seam of Jewish extremists from the West Bank and a sense of their desperation as the government appears to be coming round to accepting the need of withdrawing from the West Bank and evacuating the settlements.

"Left wingers like me have been arguing this for thirty years," he said.

"But I think the radicals are more ready to use violence now because they feel that new thinking is developing.

"I think those on the West Bank believe our view have been adopted by the political elite."
