Another suicide bombing today, this one in Tel Aviv - not good news. Five more innocents killed, along with a nascent glimmer of optimism among Israelis. During the lull, many were beginning to feel a taste of calm, some reduction in fear and a growth of hope after over a month without any Israelis killed. Palestinians however didn't have any such lull in the violence: the past month for them brought more than 70 killed, 2/3 of them civilians. "But it's been so quiet," people say. Indeed.

At least the school continues at full capacity.
