UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! One road going to the same place divided in two... one half for Israelis... the other for Palestinians.
And Jimmy Carter is an anti Semite for calling this apartheid?.... All he did was speak the truth. If this is not apartheid, WHAT IS IT???

As the little Angel above is saying.... "Please God, Free Palestine!" Let us ALL join in her prayer....

Read the following from today's New York Times for a full report...


A newly constructed road, conceived under Ariel Sharon, that will separate most Palestinian and Israeli traffic near Jerusalem
By STEVEN ERLANGER
Published: August 11, 2007
JERUSALEM, Aug. 10 — Israel is constructing a road through the West Bank, east of Jerusalem, that will allow both Israelis and Palestinians to travel along it — separately.


There are two pairs of lanes, one for each tribe, separated by a tall wall of concrete patterned to look like Jerusalem stones, an effort at beautification indicating that the road is meant to be permanent. The Israeli side has various exits; the Palestinian side has few.

The point of the road, according to those who planned it under former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, is to permit Israel to build more settlements around East Jerusalem, cutting the city off from the West Bank, but allowing Palestinians to travel unimpeded north and south through Israeli-held land.

"The Americans demanded from Sharon contiguity for a Palestinian state," said Shaul Arieli, a reserve colonel in the army who participated in the 2000 Camp David negotiations and specializes in maps. "This road was Sharon’s answer, to build a road for Palestinians between Ramallah and Bethlehem but not to Jerusalem. This was how to connect the West Bank while keeping Jerusalem united and not giving Palestinians any blanket permission to enter East Jerusalem."

Mr. Sharon talked of "transportational contiguity" for Palestinians in a future Palestinian state, meaning that although Israeli settlements would jut into the area, Palestinian cars on the road would pass unimpeded through Israeli-controlled territory and even cross through areas enclosed by the Israeli separation barrier.

The vast majority of Palestinians, unlike Israeli settlers, will not be able to exit in areas surrounded by the barrier or travel into Jerusalem, even into the eastern part of the city, which Israel took over in 1967.

The road does that by having Palestinian traffic continue through underpasses and over bridges, while Israeli traffic will have interchanges allowing turns onto access roads. Palestinians with Israeli identity cards or special permits for Jerusalem will be able to use the Israeli side of the road.

The government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has recently made conciliatory gestures to the Palestinians and says it wants to do what it can to ease the creation of a Palestinian state. But Mr. Olmert, like Mr. Sharon, has said that Israel intends to keep the land to the east of Jerusalem.

To Daniel Seidemann, a lawyer who advises an Israeli advocacy group called Ir Amim, which works for Israeli-Palestinian cooperation in Jerusalem, the road suggests an ominous map of the future. It is one in which Israel keeps nearly all of East Jerusalem and a ring of Israeli settlements surrounding it, providing a cordon of Israelis between largely Arab East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank, which will become part of a future Palestinian state.

In a final settlement, Israel is expected to offer the Palestinians land swaps elsewhere to compensate.

The road will allow Israeli settlers living in the north, near Ramallah, to move quickly into Jerusalem, protected from the Palestinians who surround them. It also helps ensure that the large settlement of Maale Adumim — a suburb of 32,000 people east of Jerusalem, where most of its residents work — will remain under Israeli control, along with the currently empty area of 4.6 square miles known as E1, between Maale Adumim and Jerusalem, which Israel also intends to keep.

For the Palestinians, the road will connect the northern and southern parts of the West Bank. In a future that may have fewer checkpoints, they could travel directly from Ramallah north of Jerusalem to Bethlehem south of it — but without being allowed to enter either Jerusalem or the Maale Adumim settlement bloc.

"To me, this road is a move to create borders, to change final status," Mr. Seidemann said, referring to unresolved issues regarding borders, refugees and the fate of Jerusalem. "It’s to allow Maale Adumim and E1 into Jerusalem but be able to say, 'See, we’re treating the Palestinians well — there’s geographical contiguity.’ "

Measure it yourself, he said. "The Palestinian road is 16 meters wide," or 52 feet, he added. "The Israeli theory of a contiguous Palestinian state is 16 meters wide."

Khalil Tufakji, a prominent Palestinian geographer, says the road "is part of Sharon’s plan: two states in one state, so the Israelis and the Palestinians each have their own roads." The Palestinians, Mr. Tufakji said, "will have no connection with the Israelis, but travel through tunnels and over bridges, while the Israelis will travel through Palestinian land without seeing an Arab."

Salaam ....
Hamas and Fatah are not the same ...... Hamas are democratically elected by Palestinians themselves while Fatah are not ..... The problem stems out from having a Hamas led government but a Fatah president. You cant have two parties with different ideals to run a country.

Hamas should be given the opportunity to govern Palestine.

why are they fighting each other? they r still under occupation.


Salaam alaykum;

this thread tells about zionist racism but I try my best to answer to your question. Forgive me that I tell only Hamas side of the story. This answer comes from the Al-Qassam Brigades why they took power in Gaza:

What happened in the Gaza Strip is the necessary step that a big number from the palestinians need. Why?
Because these sites which was attacked by the Qassam men had no work bu to guide the zionist forces to kill the mujahedeen. Also , another work is to protect the killers of civilians in the streets of the Gaza strip

Hamas doesn't intend to kill any palestinian but some sold themselves to the zionist forces and wanted to guided the forces to kill the palestinians.

Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, Dr. Rantisi, Dr.Maqadma, Salah Shehada and many others were assissnated by the guide of the Palestinian Mukhbarat ( intelgence forces)

What you expect Hamas to do after two Intifadas and most of our resistance leaders were died by the cause of these forces.

We need to pure our house first and then to kill the zionist forces ......

Then Hamas gave them many choices to leave their actions against the palestinian civilians and their positions.....

;) Where I got this answer is my little secret.
