The violence is omnipresent, and the international community appears determined not to stop it. This latest wave of violence is the inevitable result of Israel's decades-long effort to achieve total control over the West Bank.
Some Western officials have warned that Palestinians now face the threat of Israel's creeping annexation of the occupied West Bank, as if Israel and its occupation are separate realms.
Annexation is not a future prospect; it is a fact of life. Israelis and Palestinians live in a one-state reality, with Israel controlling the major aspects of life in the territory.
Much of the blame for Israel's current policies is laid at the feet of far-right elements in Israel's government, such as Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.
