"QALANDIA, Occupied West Bank , May 16, 2011 (IPS) - Israeli confidence that Nakba day, marked by The Great March on May 15 in the occupied Palestinian territories, Israel and neighbouring Arab countries, would remain under control, has backfired badly....
Israeli military and domestic intelligence had predicted disturbances on Sunday but confidently stated they would be limited and not spiral out of control into anything larger.
They appear to be wrong on that account, with experts predicting the possible outbreak of a third Palestinian Intifadah, when the Palestinian Authority (PA) takes its case for statehood to the UN in September."
