Militant leaders said that they would support Abbas yesterday, then today they go and perform a drive by shooting at Israeli civilians. What is going on over there?

I understand that the lifestyle over in that part of the world is a calamitous one. They never know when one is getting ready to kill another, whether it be Israeli military, or a suicide bomber, but doesn't there need to be some form of honor? Without it, there will never be peace. Sad.
