Nobody in Dheisheh is able to go to work except those who work in Bethlehem. Life has come to a standstill. All we can spend our days doing is to follow the news closely. Everyone's eyes here are glued to their TV set every waking hour of the day, nothing else. I went and watched TV with my neighbors yesterday.
Nobody wants the clashes to end.
Everyone here wants an all out confrontation and to the hell with it. Every woman I talk to here says the same. The mood is so different this time. People are just fed up with Israel's aggression. People are fed up with the silent world that doesn't give a damn about us just because we are Arabs.
