Its ongoing and escalating nature increases the risk that the violence will spill over its present borders and contribute to both extremism and terrorism. While the Intifada from 1987 to 1993 was largely a popular uprising and a political struggle, the recent clash is a war with a steady escalation between conventional and unconventional forces. It is in the interest of all major powers, the international community, and the United Nations to press both sides to accept a realistic peace plan.||Noted Middle East expert An 606 $aAl-Aqsa Intifada, 2000- 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict 615 0$aAl-Aqsa Intifada, 2000- 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict. 676 $a956.9405/4 700 $aCordesman$b Anthony H$0567761 701 $aMoravitz$b Jennifer$01630633 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812282203321 996 $aThe Israeli-Palestinian war$93969039 997 $aUNINA
