INTIFIDA
the conflict with the mighty Israelis.
In July, the International Court of
Justice sided with the Palestinians against
Israel's security barrier, and the European
Union in general endorses the
Palestinian demand that Israel quit the
territories and dismantle settlements.
In addition to the heavy toll in human
life, both the Israelis and the Palestinians
have paid a very high economic price.
The Palestinians have lost their primary
place of work, with foreign workers
replacing Palestinian laborers in Israel
proper.
The Israelis have lost investors and
tourists, though tourism, too, seems to
be recovering somewhat. The year of the
millennium should have been an eco-
nomic boon, drawing waves of pilgrims
and tourists from all over the world, but
it ended as a disaster. New hotels built to
accommodate the projected influx of
tourists closed down.
One hotel in Nazareth was turned
into a detention camp for foreign work-
ers, just before they are deported.

Still Arafat
Some say former Prime Minister Ehud
Barak lost his job to Sharon because of
his failure to reach an agreement with
Arafat and prevent the intifada. But four
years later, Sharon has been unable to
deliver on his own election promise of
peace and security."
Now, as Sharon's Gaza disengagerrient
plan gains steam, some in Israel are wor-
ried that the country faces a potential
civil war. And Arafat, though confined
to his Ramallah headquarters by the
Israelis, is still considered the leader of
the Palestinians.
Although Bush, in his U.N. speech,
insinuated that Arafat was doing disserv-
ice to his people, the European Union
still regards Arafat as the legitimate
leader of the Palestinians, the one with
whom Israel should negotiate.
And so, as the fifth year of the intifada
begins, both parties are caught in the
ring, like exhausted boxers. Sharon
believes the disengagement from Gaza
could create a change. But no one
knows for sure — perhaps even not
Sharon himself — what kind of a future
he sees after the Israeli withdrawal from
Gaza.
Israeli diplomats, dreading the vacu-
um the pullout set for mid-2005 might
create, have scrambled in recent weeks
for American, European and Arab help
in propping up an Israel-free Gaza Strip.
And Palestinian factions have recently
been trying to achieve an agreement on
keeping the peace once Israel leaves
Gaza.
