Intifada: The writing was on the wall

Intifada: The writing was on the wall

Gideon Levy's picture
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.http://www.middleeasteye.net/columns/intifada-writing-was-wall-1493279925
