Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Monday that Israel would not bow to "knife terror" while four stabbings in Jerusalem gave no sign of Palestinian unrest slowing.

Frustrated Palestinian youths have defied president Mahmud Abbas as well as an Israeli crackdown by staging violent protests in annexed east Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, while 18 stabbings have targeted Jews since October 3.

The stabbings have killed two Israelis and wounded about 20, including a 13-year-old critically injured on Monday.

3. I believe hat the Palestinians are in a "we have nothing to lose" mind set now.

I hope that cooler heads will prevail, but I'm not sure that is very likely.


To hope.
