In order for the road map to work, Israel has promised to stop building settlement, while Palestinians autorities promised to keep suiside bombing under control. Well, Israel is saying something to the world, while turning aroung and building settlement under the watchful eye of the Palestinians. The palestinians feels that they have been deceived by the whole world, and they turn to violence, which achieve nothing but the lost of innocent people, and add another cycle of violence to the picture. The palestinian authorities on the other hand don't have much power over Hamas, Hamas is working independent from anybody. the majority of Palestinian people believe that Abu Mazen is just a puppet for the US addministration. all this while the Israeli government keep adding new settlement that will be obsatcle for peace. please read this article for yourself in the Christian Monitor Science

Ariel Sharon's Wall

Salaam Hoda,
I thought this would be interesting to you. This was a letter to the editor of the International Herald Tribune by Nada Tarbush, a girl from Geneva.
“Ariel Sharon’s Wall”
As a 16 year-old, I am not experienced in deciphering politicians’ shrouded speeches. Recently, for example, I have read some quotations from speeches made by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon of Israel.
When Sharon calls a 1,000-kilometer wall a fence, and when he describes it as a source of stability and security, then either he is using a euphemism that escapes me or these words don’t correspond to their meanings in the dictionary.
Sharon’s fence is actually a long construction with trenches, parallel roads and a concrete wall. That such a group of different structures is called a fence puzzles me.
“Stability and security” are favored terms of Sharon. I try to imagine myself living with my fellow young Palestinians under military occupation. Like young people everywhere, we would need to go to school, to visit each other and move freely. But even these mundane things are denied to Palestinian youth. You wonder how a wall is going to generate stability and security for Israelis and Palestinians.
Would not security and stability be better served by ending the occupation and recognizing Palestinian national rights, rather than expanding Israeli occupation?
The more I learn about this wall, the more I see it is a source of instability and insecurity and the more difficulty I have understanding Sharon’s use of these terms. If Israel, with all its military might, needs a fortification to protect itself, then logically the Palestinians would have to build a chain of steel mountains to protect itself from Israeli tanks, F-16s, Apache helicopters, and armed Jewish settlers.
Nada Tarbush, Geneva
Hope we learned something from this honestly provocative young mind.
Hussein
