"Since completing this memoir in 1995 I've returned to Palestine every year. In fact, apart from traveling abroad to lecture, Palestine is the only place I've been since I first journeyed there 15 years ago. I sometimes fantasize vacationing in Greece or Italy but never do. If I have time and cost isn't prohibitive, I always return to Palestine. I do so mostly from a sense of duty - do I have a right to be elsewhere? - relieved by the authentic affection I've developed for friends. I cannot say I enjoy going back. From the moment I arrive, even before arriving, I count the minutes left before I depart. The eminent Hebrew University sociologist Baruch Kimmerling has described Gaza as "the largest concentration camp ever to exist." The West Bank ranks only a mite less awful. Once the Israeli wall currently under construction is finished, the West Bank will replace Gaza with top honors. Bordered on both sides by four meter deep trenches, fortified with guard towers at regular intervals, and topped with barbed wire, this massive barricade will stretch across fully 347 kilometers - twice the size of the Berlin Wall."

( Postscript to German edition of The Rise and Fall of Palestine by Prof. Norman Finkelstein. Read more here: [link] )

Well said, Mr. Finkelstein. I don't understand why people don't see the Gaza Wall like Berlin's Wall or the Jewish Ghettos. It's asinine. :(

OF course theyre guarded, because they make themselves into human bombs. Who would want to live with people that do that crap? Not me. But maybe you think its ok because theyre killing Jews. Thats a novel idea, lets pick on the most picked on people group in human history just because its fun to blow stuff up. Way to be a terrorist. I wonder what would happen to Finkelstein if he got lost in Ramallah. Hmmm...ah yes, he would be dangling from the end of a rope because thats what they do to Jews and infidels.

You know what's funny? Just recently, journalists in the Gaza strip, reporting on the PALESTINIAN's side of the story, were kidnapped and held hostage...

That really doesn't help with PR, does it?

Id write Life on the wall, suicide bombers no longer go and blow themselvs in busses leading children to school as they used to because of it.
