in the beginning of october when we saw a real increase in this one on one violence, it was all over the media. nowadays it is almost something that people are used to happening on a day-to-day basis. we always hear the israeli army narrative, israeli security forces and it's very difficult to get a sense of the other side, the palestinian side. there is of course a lot of frustration i think. it tells you that the street is very tense, certainly one on one people are suspicious of each other. israeli, palestinian and also there's a lot of frustration. when you speak to palestinians they say it is a result of decades much occupation. when you speak to the older generation many of those that i've spoken to will say that they have lost hope and many of these youth who go out to try do something in their eyes as resistance to the occupation is in vein because flog will
