About 5 months ago Abbas and Sharon agreed to a cease-fire, after 4½ years of bloodshed since the start of the second intifada. Although both sides violated the truce several times, violence decreased considerably, but in recent weeks it flared up and both parties blame this on the other and warn that they are running out of patience. There is a growing concern that violence might increase further after the implementation of the disengagement from Gaza, or even that violence before will prevent disengagement.

Ratna's Review contains my thoughts on the Israel - Palestine conflict, the Jewish right to self determination (aka Zionism) and the Palestinian right to self determination, and especially the involvement of Europe with the conflict in the light of it's own history. I am Ratna Pelle, an academic from the Netherlands who has been active in several leftist movements for peace, environment and third world. I am neither Jewish nor Palestinian nor Israeli nor Arab.
