What is brewing in the West Bank these days is not just another “spat of clashes,” nor some seasonal event having to do with the autumn olive harvest season, nor some local outburst of violence that can be contained or framed as a local problem. This is a different, much more dangerous reality: one that derives from policy. This policy is clear and ongoing. It is intended to change facts on the ground, so that West Bank annexation does not remain some political statement about the future, but becomes daily action grounded in the present.
