Did you say the Israelis are withdrawing?
Y. Khellef writing from Bethlehem, occupied Palestine, Live from Palestine, 27 February 2005
Israeli watchtower at Qalandia checkpoint.

Bethlehem, Feb, 20th 2005 — Since the Sharm El Sheikh summit things have significantly improved in the Palestinian territories. The Army has stopped its incursions in Palestinian towns, Palestinian civilians are free to move, prisoners are about to be released and economic activity is slowly recovering...
At least this is the information that most western media is conveying to its people.
The situation on the ground is unfortunately completely different. The Separation Wall is being completed faster than ever, all the military check points are still in place, the Palestinian detainees are still under Israeli custody and daily life is still hell for all Palestinians.
The only significant gesture Israel has made towards the PA was the handover of 15 corpses of Palestinian gunmen kept in Israeli morgues. Nothing however has been done for the living. The Separation Wall or "Confinement Wall" should we say, has already been completed around most of the Major Palestinian cities.

How Dare the Jews shoot Back!
There are other countries aside from Israel where members of the military get to sit in watchtowers and gun down people without anyone complaining, why are you only complaining when we do it? We want to be able to have a murderous state that oppresses minorities too. Its just not fair you wont let us have one.
" the Palestinian detainees are still under Israeli custody and daily life is still hell for all Palestinians. "
And what about life of the victims of terrorism and their families?

You need to learn to have at least a scintilla of respect for your audience's intelligence.
500 prisoners have been released; some checkpoints and roadblocks have been removed; thousands of Palestinian laborers have been permitted to enter Israel on a daily basis for work.
Stop bullshitting. You can't make monkeys out of all of us readers.
