According to the UK 'Observer' newspaper
(today, Sunday) the Israeli peace movement, demanding a withdrawal from the occupied territories, are gaining ground daily. A large demonstration was due to take place today, and it has gathered support from all the various peace movements in Israel.
The peace movement is demanding that this withdrawal is made unilaterally, in other words does not depend on negotiations with the Palestinians. One group has said that neither Sharon or Arafat are fit to decide the fate of their respective nations. I think this is a very positive breaKTHROUGH - the numbers of refuseniks is growing - despite the threat of treason charges, and the peace movement has 26% of the Israeli population behind it. That's a remarkable figure.
