Netanyahu's partition of Jerusalem

The "knife intifada" ratcheted up a few notches Oct. 18 and metamorphosed. Until now, the incidents were characterized as "lone wolf" attacks in which the perpetrator targets bystanders and attempts to harm as many people as he can before he is neutralized or killed. But a turnabout occurred Oct. 18 involving real firearms and an Israeli Bedouin terrorist, and the accidental lynching of an illegal Eritrean worker who was mistaken for another terrorist.
Summary While Israeli conservatives sanctify a united Jerusalem, many of them also support walling off some Palestinian neighborhoods that were annexed in 1967.
