01-08-06 - The Rape of Palestine The West Bank we must remember belongs to the Palestinians. The Israeli roads are built on confiscated land. The action approved by Sharon prevents the indigenous people from using their own land or roads built on their land; it prevents not only personal and community interaction, it prevents commercial activity as well. It is nothing more than a calculated attempt to destroy the viability of a people to provide for themselves, an attempt to cause deep and continuing mental harm, actions contrary to the UN Genocide Convention.

01-08-06 - The Israel-Palestine conflict might be resolved by thinking globally Sharon, like most Israelis, wants peace but is also committed to ensuring that Israel's permanent borders are a substantial improvement on those of 1948. The persistence of Israel's ambitions on the West Bank represents an absolute barrier to any meaningful accord, whoever leads the government in Jerusalem. This author disregards the fact that it is against international law to build settlements on occupied territory. The only 'territorial dispute' here is Israel's refusal to obey international law and cease its presence on Palestinian land (West Bank, Jerusalem).

01-08-06 - Making human drama out of a political crisis According to Amelia Thomas, a correspondent for the Middle East Times and Christian Science Monitor, this felt pre-meditated, too.

One photographer is similarly cynical, describing it as "Woodstock Gaza, 2005".
