The next Intifada in Palestine will be armed, non-factional, and popular, with consequences that are too difficult to gauge.
For Netanyahu, the frequent deadly raids on Palestinian towns and refugee camps translate into political assets that allow him to keep his extremist supporters happy. But this is short-term thinking.
Considering that the new resistance is centered around homegrown, grassroots, community-oriented movements, it has far greater chances of success than previous attempts.
Three Palestinian intellectuals, Dr. Ramzy Baroud, Awad Abdelfattah, and Issam Adwan discuss and analyze these ongoing events.
It is obvious that what is currently taking place in Jenin is indicative of something much larger. Israel knows this, thus the exaggerated violence against the camp.

« […] Ce livre se veut un moyen de construire une position palestinienne indépendante, sans aucune allégeance vis‑à‑vis d’aucun parti politique ou individu, ni aucune organisation officielle. En cela, il se veut simplement une tentative de se référer aux mêmes principes que ceux des innombrables réfugiés vivant dans des camps confinés et surpeuplés où avec fierté […]
