The sudden news on the Al-Aksa shift in direction shot hope through my heart. Then reality set in again, as I figured out how little a shift it really was. Note that they're still planning to target civilians, these just happen to be civilians in settlements. Remember that will include children of settlers. I count children as innocents whom it is evil to target no matter what side you're on, and no matter what side their parents are on.

Well, one can still hope that this is a shift in direction, not just a shift in tactics to improve Al-Aqsa's "public image".
