...fact that Palestinian rage over events in Jerusalem could have escalated within hours to an intifada-style uprising throughout the West Bank and Gaza is a stark reminder that six years after the Oslo Accord, the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza hasn't ever really ended. From the dusty refugee camps of Gaza and the biblical towns of the West Bank, Palestinians looking to vent their rage on Israeli troops and settlements didn't have to look further than within walking distance of their homes.

The events of the past two weeks have stirred up a hornets' nest of rage, and throughout the Middle East there'll be groups planning to avenge Palestinian casualties in what they perceive as a battle over the fate of the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem. Israeli leaders have already warned their people to brace for a new wave of terrorist attacks. Washington will probably have to do the same...
