Unfortunately, Ehud Barak is not one of them. I was told by some sources that there would be a riot at a village near where I was stationed. But when I got there, there was no tear gas, no rubber bullets and no rock-throwing, just a few teenagers holding Palestinian flags. But then, as if on cue, the Israeli military arrived, and the teenagers started throwing rocks. It was as if everyone was acting from a script, and had memorized their lines.
Nobody wants to hear about the average Palestinian or Israeli going about their business.
They want to hear about the conflict and the drama. That often prompted him to drive from an area of relative tranquility to a strife-torn village. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any form without permission.
