Recent Attacks Should Dispel Any Hopes of Expanding Palestinian Sovereignty in the West Bank
Shooting across the pre-1967 border.

Shooting across the pre-1967 border.
On Saturday, a sixty-seven-year-old Israeli named Amnon Muchtar was shot in the West Bank city of Qalqilya, in what authorities are treating as a terrorist attack. Although Israelis are officially banned from entering this Palestinian city (a regulation I have never heard compared to apartheid), Muchtar regularly visited to buy vegetables and visit friends. This incident should cause some Westerners to reconsider their assumptions about the West Bank. Even more significant, although less deadly, is an attack that happened previously.
