This isn’t just another terrorist attack—it’s a major escalation, a new phase in the Arab-Israeli conflict in two ways. First, it is the bitter fruit of the U.S.-backed downfall of the government of President Husni Mubarak in Egypt. Second, it is probably the first successful al-Qaida attack on Israel. (The

Why the terror attack near Eilat happened

In the liveblog, I mentioned that the border with Egypt is open and that the security fence that is supposed to be built along that border has not been built. Here's a story about the lack of progress on building that fence. It's less than 10% complete.
Less than 10% of the security fence between Israel and Egypt has been built despite the fact that the budget was approved over 18 months ago.

Time for Norwegians to learn a lesson?

Norwegian ambassador to Israel Svein Sevje told Maariv this week that 'Palestinian terrorism' against Israel is more justified than terrorism against Norwegians. Perhaps it's time for Norwegians to wake up and smell the coffee? This is from Alan Dershowitz. The causes of terrorism are multifaceted but at bottom they have a common cause: namely, a belief that violence is the proper response to

'Palestinian' solidarity with the people of Norway

I have just heard one of their senior government members on the BBC news claim that, with the 'possible exception of the Beslan massacre', the Norway attack

Svein Sevje said in an Israeli newspaper interview Tuesday that while the Norwergian bomb and gun rampages that killed 76 people and Palestinian attacks should both be considered morally unacceptable, he wanted to "outline the similarity and the difference in the two cases."
