Intifada: The writing was on the wall
Anyone claiming to be surprised that a third uprising is imminent has been burying their head in the sand for the last decade
Only
rarely does a cliche as well-worn as this one hit the mark so
precisely: The writing is on the wall, indeed. My readers will pardon
me; no response, explanation or analysis seems more pertinent, at this
juncture, when the danger of a third Palestinian Intifada breaking out
seems greater than at any time in the last decade. Anyone claiming to be
surprised has not been living in the Middle East over the last 10
years. Anyone who claims to be surprised has, along with most Israelis,
been burying his head in the sand for a decade. The only surprising
thing is that a renewed uprising has taken a decade to occur.
