This may be the reason why Israel is slow to recognize the beginning of this thing or anticipate correctly the future direction of events. History does repeat itself, but not exactly.

Israel 'on brink of third intifada' after new car attack () {By = Kate Shuttleworth
Date = 05 Nov 2014
Menachem Klein, professor of political science at Bar Ilan University, said Jerusalem was facing a renewed intifada, or uprising, after previous uprisings in the 1980s and again from 2000-2005.
"Those who say this is not an intifada have in mind intifada one and two as models, but I refuse to assume that the third intifada should exactly follow the first and the second. It can be different – it's a popular rejection of the Israeli authority," he said.
"It's a local intifada, yes, and Israel is trying to contain it.
"Israel uses different measures in order to stop the intifada in Jerusalem – by using law and settlement expansion."
