Many consider Israel now at war. If what s going on now is not an all-out war, then it most certainly is close to it. What the Palestinians tried to present as being a spontaneous outburst of rock throwing by frustrated Palestinian youth, has now turned into an armed battle pitting heavily armed Palestinian forces against the Israel Defense Force and Israeli civilians. Every day now, there are gun battles and mortar attacks and bombings. Some of the roads in Israel are now unsafe to travel.
People living in settlements are under daily attacks.
And Israelis living in big cities are constantly fearful of when the next suicide bomber will hit. The Oslo Peace Accords are, for all practical purposes, dead. All this after Israel made what most everyone considered unimaginable concessions at Camp David. And now, whatever Israel does to defend itself is no good. Blow up the buildings the Palestinians use to shoot from no good.
