So the government could gain support for their hardline views. After all, this is a ruling government that tried to overhaul the judicial system, reduce the power of the Supreme Court, and reduce the accountability of it's actions. Show the populace the danger and violence they are suseptible to, and then pledge to protect them. I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist, but it wouldn't surprise me if this particular regime would stoop this low. If so, they may have underestimated the amount of death and damage.

Where does "smash down the big fence and rush thousands of half trained militia to a rock festival where they massacre 260 tourists after raping and torturing them and then go back to Gaza" feature on the "Shit that actually makes sense" list???
For the Mid East? The Mid East has been trying to find one for the last 1,000 years.
Let’s not forget why Gaza today as we know it, came to be.
Well, far smarter people than me tried. However I'll have a go. Palestinians were sitting and shitting on a piece of sand for a couple of thousands of years and not doing anything with it. Jews started returning to the same patch of sand at the beginning of the last century and more came after the European holocaust. They established the state of Israel and proceeded to get busy. Turning the desert that the occupants at the time were doing nothing much with into productive farm land.
They offered the Arabs full citizenship and a piece of the pie. An offer which was soundly rejected with a counter offer of all their neighbors attacking them in a full scale war with the stated intention of annihilating them.Now to cut to the chase. If the patch of sand they were living on is the main bone of contention, why not move to another patch of sand. The middle east has lots of room with Arab neighbors. Why not donate an area where they could move and prosper? Fighting over the one they've got doesn't seem to be working.
Return to 1967 borders and let the Jordanians and Egyptians turf all the squatters, or "settlers" if you prefer, out. Repatriate any refugees who want back on the land and institute a true democracy where everyone who lives in Israel gets a vote. Very simple, not so easy...
