Israel is worried that deceptive quiet could explode at any moment with a spark from Hezbollah, Hamas or Iran.

I feel like Israel constantly victimizes themselves. Even when things are calm, they are certain something is bound to go wrong. This constant paranoia just furthers bad feelings and mistrust between Israelis and Palestinians.
In a poignant documentary I recently saw, called ‘The Fault Line’ (http://explore.org/explore/middleeast/films/147), filmmaker Charles Annenberg Weingarten says while in the West Bank, “All three religions [Christianity, Judaism, and Islam] stand for peace – I have barbed wire on my fingers, a wall across from me – the whole concept is ‘love thy neighbor?’” (2:34).
This film emphasizes the ways in which wariness and mistrust in the Middle East does nothing but worsen the situation.
