i always found it interesting that:
from a news article-
The driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers, "We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem."
http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123885&page=1
and then in the article written by gordon thomas:
"It came as Sharon faces mounting domestic and international pressure to find a way to stop more than 19 months of bloodshed and launch talks with the Palestinians."
why would that driver of the van say such a thing?
Who knows, but 9/11 didn't cause a major shift in US policy in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, so why does this matter?
