Question The Intifada is dying?

http://www.jrep.com/Palaffairs/Article-0.html

long article..

Quote:
"There is no intifada in Tul Karm. The army is still arresting people on the pretext that they are planning attacks, but they are liars," the governor rasps.

Some of the blood that has been spilled here in recent years has been the result of internal strife, as the militants take revenge against local Palestinians accused of having helped the Israeli authorities track their colleagues down. During Jarira’s reign, three alleged collaborators from one of the refugee camps were executed outside the city morgue, to save the trouble of having to transport the bodies. And in August 2002, Akhlas Khouli, a mother of seven, was shot dead, followed by her niece. Khouli was accused of having planted the bomb that killed Raed Karmi on behalf of the Israelis, and of passing on information about the whereabouts of another senior Al-Aqsa Brigades member who was assassinated.

"People are so poor, they will agree to collaborate for very little in return," notes a local who says he was present at some of the alleged collaborators’ confessions. Khouli’s niece is said to have agreed to help in return for the promise of a cell phone card -- which she never even received.

More recently, though, militants from the Tul Karm camp are said to have abducted an alleged collaborator, taped his confession, then let him go in return for a ransom of 80,000 shekels ($18,000). The freed man is said to have taken refuge inside Israel.

Now, Governor Sharif suggests that Israel should stay out of Tul Karm and that his forces should be allowed to assume control. Shortly before the interview in his first floor office, an army jeep was seen idling inside Tul Karm, not far from the town center, and locals say the soldiers enter the city every night. A few uniformed PA police are visible on the streets, but they are not armed and they are confined to dealing with civilian matters like traffic and petty crime. In the absence of orders from Sharif’s "close friend" Arafat, nobody expects that they will go after the militants themselves. All Sharif will say on the matter is that "security for Israel can only be achieved at the negotiating table. When we get the right to live, then we’ll give them the right. Israel wants a leadership of spies, of yes-men," he goes on, adding that Arafat "says he’d prefer to die a hundred times than to be a collaborator."

After 15 minutes at the store, Hani Aweideh looks like he wants to be on his way before the army gets wind that he’s out and about. Now that Tul Karm is relatively quiet, I ask him, if Israel were to stop its operations here, would you agree to do the same? "We’ll stop our operations," he says, "but we won’t hand over our weapons. Not to Israel, nor to the PA."

israel already offered the palestinians several lucrative settlements. it's just that the palestinian leadership won't settle for anything less than the destruction of israel. instead of making a counteroffer to a very significant deal that barak offered at camp david, arafat simply walked away from the negotiation table and ordered his security people to start an uprising. both palestinians and even more so israelis are paying dearly for it.
