"Throwing rocks, burning tires and carrying out other assaults on the Israeli military are not unheard of in the West Bank. But the incident Monday night registered loudly with Israeli authorities: The attackers were Jewish extremists."  The implications is that Israelis are not known for violence. Secondly, if the attackers were Arabs, Israeli fighter jets would have bombed them from the air and the UNSC would have convened in a special session.
