Snarky insults doesn't lend credibility to your response.

I read the linked articles before my initial response, and I didn't -- and still don't -- think any of the articles answered the very specific question I asked:

I see nothing in Bibi's policy toward the Palestinian Authority and Hamas that would lead a neutral observer to believe it would encourage Hamas to stage a massive terrorist attack on Israel.

Quoting the warning from the UPI article:

[QUOTE/] -- Israeli intelligence said it warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government that passing judicial reforms that sparked widespread protests would put the country at risk and embolden its enemies, according to officials on Friday.

The Israeli Defense Forces said that the Israeli Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar warned in a recent meeting with a forum of senior commanders that Israel's enemies may attempt to test them because of protesting reservists who said they would not serve because of the reforms. [/QUOTE]
