Things in Israel

This whole incident is bad. Very bad.

The ramifications of this, both in terms of the terrorism situation in Israel, and in terms of the political fallout, are not going to be pretty. From Israel's standpoint, having an Israeli Jew commit a terrorist attack to protest his government's Gaza evacuation plan is a PR nightmare. And yes, that may sound rather shallow, worrying about Pr when five or six people are dead, but when most of the world hates your country, you'd be surprised how problematic bad PR like this can be.

Too tired to blog more on this.

That is all.
