This is only one attack in a very large war. We have a President who is very reluctant to enter into armed conflict, yet is dragged into one. (I am certain that he will not do it very well.)
These wars and the attacks upon Israel are all connected. This war is going to become much larger before it is over.
Israel is expected to ignore this Arab incitement and pretend peace is possible with people who see nothing amiss with murdering an elderly Jewish woman.
That sums up the ethos of our time.
