It is fairly obvious that the beginning of a new Palestinian Intifada has begun...This is the result of occupation and oppression that leaves little hope....

Following another day of violent clashes between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters, a Palestinian man drove a van into a crowd of pedestrians on Wednesday, killing one Israeli border guard and injuring 14 other people. The driver, who reportedly exited the vehicle and started attacking others with a metal bar, was shot dead by Israeli forces on the scene.
The incident, which took place near a Jerusalem light-rail station, was nearly a carbon copy of an attack that took place just two weeks ago in which two were killed and a number of pedestrians were hurt by a driver at another light-rail station in Jerusalem. That episode, coupled with near-daily clashes, has fueled fears that a third Palestinian intifada is either imminent or already underway.
According to Haaretz, a Hamas official lauded Wednesday's attack, saying "We praise this heroic operation. We call for more such ... operations."
Also on Wednesday, Jordan recalled its ambassador to Israel over the escalating tensions in Jerusalem, tensions that have centered (in part) around a holy site known as the Temple Mount (to Jews) and the Noble Sanctuary (to Muslims).
