Daniel Pipes put it best with his assessment that Israel lost this round of the Temple Mount battle, hands down.

My assessment is that the ball game is not over.

The PLO/PA will predictably overplay their hand and condone more murder attacks.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will have no choice but to act decisively in this next round, with Hamas, Fatah, Hizbullah and Israeli Arabs, all on the battlefield, for the first time in the 70 year Israeli Arab war.
