there have been deaths among palestinians during these times and on tuesday, it was an orthodox neighborhood that buried it's dead. the bodies of three of the victims have now arrived outside the synagogue where the attack took place, and there was a large crowd of people here. thousands have gathered to pay their final respects. many people will tell you if a solution is not table, with israelis and palestinians living equally side by side, these moments of grief will continue from both sides. stephanie decker al jazeera, in west jerusalem. woman stood's attack is the latest in a series of recent incidents. in july a 16-year-old boy was burnt alive in a jerusalem forrest. that came after the deaths of three young israelis in october, a palestinian man drove his
1:13 pm
car into a crowded jerusalem train station. two pedestrians were killed. a rabbi campaigning for more access to a mosque compound. was shot and seriously wounded. then on november the fifth, another attack two people were killed when a palestinian man drove his van into a crowd. on monday a palestinian bus driver was found hanged in a bus depot. his family believed he was murdered. of course, this follows israel closing the mosque for the first time in 47 years a move which sparked accusations of violations of the mosque by jordanian authorities. let's go now to the senior political analyst. he is live ever the us from new york good to have you with us. looking -- you know, one of the interesting things is even the claim i don't know if we can call it claim of responsibility,
1:14 pm
but the announcement that came from the pflp saying that two of their members carried out this attack, they stopped short of saying they are responsible as a group for this attack, which makes you wonder whether palestinian groups have lost control of the street, whether the pressure is building up so much are officials or groups or anyone in control of these actions at this point? >> to a large degree yes. especially in jerusalem. remember, jerusalem is under israeli occupation, and the various palestinian groups cannot function as freely as they would have in the west bank, and gaza. even the statement by hamas was not clear, because only -- the only thing that's been circulating everywhere, based on an a.p. story, was that one of the sports person for hamas brought something with his facebook. but if he checked the hamas website, there is no praise for the operation on the hamas own website.
1:15 pm
the various hamas have not come out taking responsibility, just as the fprp didn't. it would have been short sited, if it is stupid, for any of them to take such respondability, what is for sure is what seem people have been calling leaderless apprising or leaderless deservices, or leaderless resistence. in jerusalem has proven to be, or is proving to be more so every day. >> where duh this leave this dynamic? are we headed towards -- largely no one is in control of the sort of cycle we are seeing. >> i have read about 15 or 16 titles today about whether there is or isn't. on the horizon the various scenarios and various feasts. some say it is not possible because of the particular way in which the palestinian political
1:16 pm
structure is today. this is not a her test call movement to fight on and so forth. but let me tell you, just privately about what could bring about such. is the total impass that we live in today. so israel's logic that israelis can have peace, settlement, and occupation, prove to be logic is failing every day. netanyahu. has already proven to be mistaken and himself ed that the political process is doing nowhere. hamas' logic that arm struck almost be sufficient to liberate is proving to be wrong, not only can they not liberate palestine through that, they can't liberate gaza through today.
1:17 pm
and of course, the american position here is that the two parties need to talk to one another, and we will help them forward, that also failed. so here you have this three dimensional plus failure and now we are in the total impass. what happens next. well, israelis and palestinians are working for any kind of political leadership to lead to a two step solution. ple are surely takingg to things in their own hans. >> thank you so much. much more to come here on the al jazeera news hour. >> in laguna seca, a mexican town that is now nearly desserted after they fled in terror from a violent drug gang. >> plus, a franked jury decides whether to bring charges against a white my for shooting an unarmied black teenager in missouri.

1:19 pm
that is very much in totally stopped and that's because just within the last hour and a half, as you mentioned they announced that they do have this general confirming what we had -- that the president and the government has been saying for the last 36 hours or so, i can tell you this peace process is completely in turmoil in this stage, pause now they basically on both sides are blaming it on each other. they need to say because the government has not agreed to a cease fire, that they are well within their rights to capture this, because he was operated in a combat zone, as an enemy combatant, and it is a normal act of war. as they said in havana, i can tell you here, and around the country that the government clearly doesn't see it that way. we expect it here again for the president have soon to get more reaction from him. but he is basically saying the peace process has stopped until they
1:20 pm

1:31 pm
lies have already paid a big price. >> police have tired tier gas at palestinian protestors that gathered after the attacks. crowds were driven by by israeli security forces. the deputy head of the revolutionary council says the response to the attacks is drip by political interests. >> yeten yaho netanyahu isg the security card. he wants to win the hearts and minds of the israelis. this is an incident that has come as an accumulation of pressure that has been mounting. who have seen systematic israeli policy of annexation of land, confiscation of property, and announcement of building more and more settlements and working towards changing the status quo. >> meanwhile, spain's parliament is holding a symbolic vote to recognize a palestinian state.

1:34 pm
tone of european attitude and the approach isn't yeah, it is an evolutionary process i think. sweden has already fully recognized. poland has too, well, it did it before an e.u. member. very similar votes very similar what is happening here tonight. and now spain is joining in france there will be a vote to recognize statehood. the reality is that the e.u., and the european union countries are -- as i said, increasingly frustrated and put out by the idea there will be no slewing in the near term. to the pam tin i can't believe situation and what they hope is by passing motion they try to push both sides closer
