LettersContemplating a Palestinian state

Regarding "A bomb's echoes"

Israeli attacks on civilians in occupied Palestine have been as despicable as any in the past. "A six-week lull in suicide bombings" saw Israel's usual steady grind of killing with a death toll of more than 25 Palestinians. Israel uses any reaction to its blood-drenched occupation as an excuse to block constructive action.
Walk in the streets of any Palestinian village and you will see that 3 million people here, not to mention the diaspora, want freedom from the vise-like grip of occupation. As I write, Israeli F-16s circle overhead. A local youth says, "If you were to write volumes of letters, it wouldn't be enough." Nobody pays attention. Start paying attention.
