It’s been almost a year. Do you remember it? It was a speaking event like any other but it sticks out in my mind even now. A friend from the International Solidarity Movement had come back from the Occupied Territories and was giving his report. Others offered some analysis of the situation there. It was well attended.

On August 3, 2003, the Associated Press reported on the progress of the road map. Some of the ‘wanted men’ of Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades were to be packed off to Jericho from Arafat’s compound in Ramallah. It is not always clear what a Palestinian has to do to make himself a ‘wanted man’.

A common belief propounded by opponents of Palestinian rights is that Arabs want to ‘drive Israel into the sea’. In 1992, Israel’s Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said: “I wish Gaza would sink into the sea.”

When Judy Rebick, in her recent Znet Commentary (“Is anti-semitism an issue for the left?”) told this story:

It might be hard to believe, but Americans have within themselves all of the emotional equipment needed to understand suicide bombers.
