Who Is Right? Should Palestine be its own soverign nation state? Why is the USA attempt to block this from happening? Is Israel using an apartheid system much like South Africa did where people are segregated into undesirable areas and become unable to access the basic necessities of life? Does Israel have a point that they have major security challenges against those trying to harm them? How can this be resolved or will it ever? Will there be a Palestine state?

Nighthawk after researching what you have said it would appear that the Palestinian Authority can make improvements to its school curriculum.
I would like to point you to two websites which suggest the education doesn't incite the sort of hatred from some of the reports you have posted, but certainly can be improved to recognise Israel better. Mind you, the same was said of Israel. The first website is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. This is the official UN body that runs many schools in the West Bank and Gaza.
UNRWA
The Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information was actually commissioned by the US Government to monitor education in the Palestinian areas. Please go to the policy papers link and scroll down to education for their reviews. Below is a small excerpt of the latest paper.
IPCRI
| QUOTE |
| IPCRI POLICY PAPER - PALESTINIAN TEXT BOOKS REFORM We strongly advise the Palestinian Authority to pick up the challenge (of improving education). We recommend that the Palestinian Authority appoint a national advisory committee on Palestinian text books empowered to review the text books taking into account the critiques that have been raised over the past years. We further recommend that this committee meet with local and international experts, including Israelis and those who have written the reports on Palestinian text books. We recommend that this committee complete its work within 60 days and that its recommendations be presented to the public. One additional note, there is also a great need for the Government of Israel to revise and reform Israeli text books in the same regards. Israeli text books have been documented by IPCRI and by others to include stereotypes against Arabs in general and Palestinian in particular. Maps in Israeli text books do not designate the Palestinian Authority areas or even the "green line". History books in Israel do not cover the past ten years and as such Israeli students do not learn about the decision of the Israeli government to recognize Palestinian political rights. Israeli text books teach too little about their Arab and Palestinian neighbors. If Israel is calling for the Palestinians to revise and reform their text books in the spirit of making peace, Israel must also look inside its own classrooms and do the same. This would also be a serious indication of Israeli intentions to make peace with the Palestinians. We believe that both sides should progress on this issue without regard for what the other sides. This is not a question of negotiations, mutuality or reciprocity. Each side must demonstrate the values that it holds dear without regard for what the other side does. The true test of the ability of both sides to make peace will be to degree to which both sides take positive action in educating the next generation in a true spirit of pursuing peace. |

It is very sad news, but apparently it is no longer either safe or desireable to celebrate Christmas in Bethlehem. Much of the world apparently blames Israel for this, but there might be an alternative explanation:

| BETHLEHEM - With Christmas services here drawing far fewer tourists than in the 1990s and the town's Christian population now at an all-time low, many world leaders and hundreds of major media outlets this week blamed Israel for Bethlehem's decline - often citing false information - while a simple talk with the town's residents reveals a drastically different picture. They say Muslim persecution has been keeping Christians away. "All this talk about Israel driving Christians out and causing pain is nonsense," a Bethlehem Christian community leader told WND. "You want to know what is at play here, just come throughout the year and see the intimidation from the Muslims. They have burned down our stores, built mosques in front of our churches, stole our real estate and took away our rights. Women have been raped and abducted. So don't tell me about Israel. It's the Muslims." |
Whoever is responsible, this is very disturbing. For a very great many Christians, Bethlehem is very, very important.

I was under the impression most of the Muslim part of Jerusalem was being bought out by Israeli jews?
If they want to erect separation walls around Bethlehem then I can't blame tourists for staying away. At the end of the day tourists want to feel welcome in places they travel. Maybe there is violence from Muslims as well contributing. But I'm sure the wall is also having a significant impact.
This report seems very agenda driven. Aaron Klein uses anonymous sources to corroborate his opinion. I'm sure if there was all this violence going on he wouldn't find it too hard to get someone to speak on the record.
But I agree, it is a sad day when such sacred places can not even lure crowds to celebrate important days like Christmas.

If Sharon does not make it, what changes does this mean for the conflict? Is there someone 'harder' than him or will a softer regime come to power?
SHARON SUFFERS MASSIVE STROKE
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive, life-threatening stroke Wednesday and underwent lengthy surgery to drain blood from his brain after falling ill at his ranch. Powers were transferred to his deputy, Ehud Olmert.

Breaking News!
In wake of apparent Hamas victory in Palestinian elections, Palestinian Cabinet members resign, say Hamas must form new government.
Hamas as the government of Palestine? Does anyone see what is going to happen here? Is it just me or are things going to get even worst? You have a militant group that has admitted, funded and executed suicide bombers all over israel now in charge of the government? This cannot be any progress towards peace.

Didn't the Palestinian people ELECT Hamas? Here I have been told, over and over and over and over, that the Palestinian Arab people are NOT the fomenters of violence and unrest, that Israel is the cause of all problems.
Yet Hamas has consistently, throughout its history, advocated the total destruction of Israel, and the death or banishment of every single Jewish person from the Middle East. They are also behind many attacks against Christians in the region. Weren't they involved in the troubles in Bethlehem a couple of years ago?
Yes, it looks to me like there is a lot more serious trouble ahead in Israel.
