L’Islanda è il primo paese occidentale a riconoscere lo Stato Palestinese, nei confini del 1967. A forza di dire che si fanno rivoluzioni, la mente delle persone e dei politici comincia a cambiare?

You fight because you have to fight – an interview with Amira Hass
An interview with Amira Hass (italian version published by Galatea, november 2010)
by Giulia Bondi
Amira Hass is the only Jew Israeli journalist who lives in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. From what she defines “the five star prison” of Ramallah, she denounces the absurdities of the occupation and tells stories of palestinian everyday life, for Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz and Italian magazine Internazionale.
Should we believe to peace talks, or it’s again just another comedy?
It is what it has been for 20 years. Israel makes voices that it is part of the peace process, but when you look at acts on the ground they are the opposite of a peace process. All Israelis policies of the past 20 years are actually aimed at foiling the only solution that is acceptable by the whole world and the Palestinians, which is the two state solution. The settlements, the restrictions of movement, the Israeli policies about Jerusalem, kicking Jerusalemites Palestinians out of Jerusalem, all these are parts of these policies. My advice is always not to listen to the talks, but look at the acts and facts on the ground.
American Administration has been very strong in proposing the 2-states solution.
But when US talk about 2 states they don’t talk about the 67border, they don’t talk about Gaza and the West Bank being both part of the Palestinian state, they don’t insist about East Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian. So, it’s very much like Tzipi Livni and even Netanyahu are talking about the 2 states. Israelis are talking about the 2 states only when they are sure that the land allocated to the other state is fragmented and much smaller than Israeli’s. There is an Israeli hope to impose surrender to the Palestinians.
