As reported last week, the pace of demonstrations and clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli state, whether its military or its armed settler wing, has continued to escalate. In what is beginning to feel like a Third Intifada, these protests are widespread, often desperate actions by individuals, and seem not to be organised by the older more established Palestinian groups. It’s been 20 years since the end of the last Intifada, and a new Palestinian generation has grown up under the repressive hand of Israeli occupation. The scale of these protests, are also an indictment on the Palestinian Authority that has become mired in collaboration and corruption. Solidarity actions are also increasing globally.
