  The Emerging Case for a Single State in Palestine
Recently, the debate about Israel and Palestine has taken an odd turn. The idea of a single democratic state in historic Palestine, once thought dead, has re-emerged as an option worthy of consideration. For some, the idea of a single state is a matter of realism.

Against a background of escalating violence in Palestine, between the 25th and the 30th of August Dr Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, visited Palestine on a peace mission organised by the Palestinian Campaign for Freedom and Peace. His visit almost coincided with the decision of the International Court of Justice at The Hague against the wall on July 9, 2004, and the issuing of the UN General Assembly resolution which adopted the decision of the ICJ on July 20, 2004.

Despite his humiliating defeat at the hands of Likud rebels last month, Ariel Sharon yesterday pressed ahead with his plan for withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, presenting a new timetable for evacuation of settlements. His actions threaten to exacerbate the split between his pragmatic expansionists and the diehard fundamental expansionists. Sharon still enjoys the support of most of his ministers and the Likud parliamentary faction, but this backing is fickle. Regardless of his bravado, it is now doubtful whether Sharon can deliver the goods to his American masters.

  Concern for the small animals

Two main demands have been raised by environment groups in connection with the environmental damage caused by the separation fence: "environmental compensation" within the Green Line and "setting up crossing points for small animals."
