Stephen Sackur speaks to veteran Palestinian negotiator and
secretary general of the PLO Saeb Erekat. Why are so many mostly
young Palestinians intent on killing Israeli Jews with whatever
weapons they can lay their hands on? The Israeli Government
blames the surge in violence on hate fuelled incitement
sanctioned by the Palestinian authorities. The Palestinians say
it is a response to the intolerable conditions of occupation. Is
a new wave of extremism sweeping the West Bank and Gaza?
