      Methinks we are too focused on Gaza and not focused enough on the Arab Israeli Citizen uprising.

      Gaza is a festering problem. The ethnic Arab uprising could be the powderkeg that sets off a massive and very ugly response.  People forget that plenty of Israelis are not Jewish.

      You are exactly correct. Had a zoom call with a client in Israel on Thursday, and that’s what was the most surprising and scary for them. Completely unlike any of the other problems from Gaza or the West Bank. . . ..

      And it’s not just an Arab uprising, mobs of Orthodox Jews have been attacking Arabs as well. Really, really ugly all around.

      And the rockets still rain down–one got through the Iron Dome and hit an apartment complex near my clients HQ. Scary as well.

      hundreds of residents of Lod, a city near the country’s main airport, came out waving Palestinian flags and set fire to cars, apartments inhabited by Jews and a synagogue in a mixed neighborhood.”

      “The strife between Israel’s Jews and its two million Arab citizens, a fifth of its population, represents a more complicated challenge than the country’s external enemies.

      Is the WSJ perhaps engaged in a bit of hyperbole?  This summary describes the best work of our “political pros” during the 2020 election cycle, no?
