Anyone here interested in exploring the new round of violence in Palestine?
As I understand it so far, one stimulus appears to be Netanyahu's return to power and the
accompanying struggle for control of the courts. Interesting issues arise then regarding
both the status of Israel as a "democracy" and of the Palestinians as a dominated populaton.
Why violence in Israel and Palestine has spiked in the last 48 hours

It’s been a violent two days in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. On Friday evening in East Jerusalem, a Palestinian gunman killed at least seven Israelis in the most lethal attack in the city since 2008. Israeli officials described the shooting outside a synagogue as an act of terrorism. Earlier Friday, three rockets were shot from Gaza and Israeli jets attacked an underground Hamas bomb-making facility, according to the Israeli military.
A day prior, in the refugee camp of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, Israeli commandos raided an apartment building and the surrounding area, and killed nine Palestinians and wounded 20, in what a spokesperson for the Palestinian Authority called “a massacre.” Israel said the site of the raid housed a terrorist cell of the Islamic Jihad group.
More than one Palestinian has been killed a day on average in the first month of 2023, on track to double the tragic rate of lethal violence in the occupied West Bank last year — which was already the highest on record since the United Nations began collecting this data, and double that of 2021.
Netanyahu outlines vision for two-state solution – without Palestinian sovereignty
