The Elias Rodriguez trial is going to be with us for a year and a half. The guy turned himself in in order to disseminate his manifesto and make himself a cause celebre. If he gets the death penalty he will be a martyr to billions. This is literally an attempt to put the entire Israel/Palestine debate on trial before the world, and it was an absolute bullseye. It's meant to turn soft radicals hard, it's meant to turn pro-Israel liberals conservative, it is meant to depopulate Jews of friends, it's meant to inspire still more drastic measures from Israel until the entire world holds Jews complicit. It will be celebrated as proof that t*rrorism works, and it will inspire others to do exactly as he did.
When people say 'intifada revolution' or 'globalize the intifada, THIS is what they mean, whether you realize it or not.
