The following analysis of the rationales for these escalating terror attacks, put forth by a learned watchman friend of mine, Shanthi Balasuriyar, is very plausible:
" Maybe that is why they have put up the Palestinians to start something in Israel to distract the protesters in their respective countries. Jordan, Syria, Bahrain, Saudi are all facing unrest and what better ploy than to distract the people... towards Israel."
" Against their better judgment these countries will prepare for war against Israel so as to turn the fury of their people towards the Jews. They know that if Egypt had toppled and Libya is struggling with the West poised against them, they have no chance, and hence they will go for this desperate act."
The following statements by the Israeli Opposition leader, Tzipi Livni, that there "is a connection between the bombing attack in Jerusalem and the Grad rocket attacks in Beersheba" and "that force must be used against Hamas and other extremist groups" seems to further confirm the above assessment.

"It looks as if the same extremist organizations will try to exploit the situation as a way to strengthen themselves and weaken the state of Israel, which cannot allow itself to appear weak."

Psalm 83
2 See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.
3 With cunning they conspire against your people;
they plot against those you cherish.
4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
