3300 words, so a little long to cut and paste.
From the article:
"When President Bush announced his intention to launch a war on terrorism, I cheered. But then, not only was Israel specifically asked to stay out of the war on terrorism, but -- as the United States bombed the stuffing out of Afghanistan, causing many civilian casualties in the process -- Bush also continued to urge Israel to negotiate with a known terrorist leader and to decry a limited number of Palestinian civilian deaths at the hands of Israel Defense Forces."
And the last line:
"But right now, I believe that if we do leave the settlements, the violence will only follow us."
The author is an American who has moved to a West Bank town with her husband and four children. Her discussion of day-to-day life is interesting.
