Weekly demonstrations in the West Bank against the construction of the security barrier are becoming increasingly violent. Israeli soldiers are being attacked with stones and Molotov cocktails. In recent clashes, two Palestinians were killed when fired upon with rubber-coated bullets by IDF soldiers.
The most troubling aspect of what has been dubbed by Palestinians as the “White Intifada” is the support that it has received from the Palestinian Authority. Israel has responded by arresting the organizers of these demonstrations and expelling foreign national that have participated in these clashes.
It is ironic that while Israel and the US are working together in order facilitate an atmosphere in which both sides can resume negotiations, for their part, the Palestinian Authority has refused to sit down and talk while at the same time they continue to incite violence.

My thoughts are always with my family. I consider the Jewish people as my family. Because the nation of Israel gave birth to America. Supported from book of Genesis. We are 1 people and 1 nation and as such inseparable.
