   The insurgents would indeed be crazy if they all gathered in those areas   
   or any other areas, but the history of the movement shows that they are   
   much too intelligent to do so.   
      
   Compare this with 'politico'-run 'events' in London, where for example   
   the cops have been allowed to encircle and hold hundreds of people at   
   Oxford Circus.   
      
   In war, class or otherwise, mobility is the thing... This intifadah will   
   not be easy for the rulers to suppress.
