Larry Derfner at the dovish Israeli +972 mag asks and generally answers a question that hasn't gotten much attention: "Why Isn't the West Bank Rioting, Too?."
Gaza's firing rockets, East Jerusalem is seeing riots, but the West Bank is calm.
The Netanyahu government isn't likely to publicly credit Mahmoud ‘Abbas and the Palestinian Authority, which may be why we aren't seeing the question asked more frequently.
(As many of you will know, +972 takes its name from Israel's telephone country code.)
