If I behaved ...Legitimate security claims, my arse. If I behaved towards my neighbours like those settlers towards theirs I might have a security problem, too - that is, if law enforcement was "functioning" here the way it does there.<BR/><BR/>In hindsight it was probably one of Arafat's bigger mistakes to agree to the partition of Hebron. He may not have anticipated just what a bunch of psychopaths would move in. He must have foreseen however that the partition, far from simply acknowledging the importance of the city in Jewish history and providing Jews legitimate access to their holy sites, it would further accelerate the city's de-urbanization, already much in progress in 1996. Needless to say, every bit at the expense of the Palestinian Hebronites.<BR/><BR/>No, I'm not arguing for consolidation of ethnically cleansed (or "clean") areas, quite the opposite. In my view, Jews and Palestinians will only have a chance of living together if they start doing so. And that applies in all the land between the river and the sea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675600882597316438.post-43338689342925898702008-08-07T04:06:00.000-07:002008-08-07T04:06:00.000-07:00And today, according to Ynet, the settlers of Hebr...And today, according to Ynet, the settlers of Hebron attacked another breaking the silence tour.
