Celebrations in the wake of murder..

It is to be viewed with a sense of tragedy, the way ordinary Palestinians in Gaza celebrated the recent murder of innocent Jews by a Palestinian gunman a few days ago in Jerusalem.

.. A tragedy that is as a result of the increasing hopelessness of achieving a just and lasting peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

Can the persons in a position to broker a peaceful settlement not see how increasingly hopeless the situation is becoming?

Does the uncertainty, anger and fear felt by ordinary Israelis as well as Palestinians in Gaza not make any impression?

.. Dancing on the streets in Gaza in the wake of murder , in many ways questions the assertion made recently by Dr Condi Rice that ordinary Gazans are being held hostage by Hamas.

.. However what will the effect be, of reprisals from Israel?

.. Even more hopelessness.
