NPR's Eric Weiner reports on new tensions in Israel, following the drive-by shooting of a Jewish settler family outside of Ramallah, which left a mother and child dead.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank "heroes" at the family funerals today, a statement that seemed certain to further aggravate growing Palestinian anger over settlement growth in the West Bank.
