		One of the unfortunate results of the violence during the "al-Aksa intifada" has been the allegations of Israeli abuse against Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances.

	The Al-Aqsa Intifada and Israel's Internal Status
		The Al-Aqsa Intifada, or uprising, can be interpreted as the outcome of the many contradictions present in the Israeli state and society.
		The intifada can thus be seen to have forced a stage of radical change within Israel that is sure to impact greatly on the future of both the Israelis and Palestinians.
		Part of this equation is the unprecedented international sympathy this intifada has roused and the anger it has stirred up throughout the Arab world.

		The Intifada was in essence an attempt to stir up the stagnation that beset the Palestinian situation following Camp David II and the failure to reach a final settlement.
		The Intifada was effectively a declaration of war, heralding a large-scale confrontation and giving each side the opportunity to exercise open pressure on the other.

		In this regard, the Intifada is the ultimate manifestation of Palestinian popular will and determination for the freedom of the Palestinian people, and for their quest for an end to Israel’s colonial presence in their territories.
		One of the major successes of the Intifada has been to deconstruct one of the major pillars of the Zionist project in Palestine— namely, the Zionist assertion that Israel is a safe haven for international Jewry.
		Even throughout the Intifada, Palestinian policemen shot down their own people with live ammunition when Palestinians rallied in the thousands to support Osama bin Laden and denounce the US attacks on Afghanistan.

	Al Aqsa Intifada
		Since the first day of the Aqsa Intifada, CNN’s top priority was to conceal or divert the attention of viewers from the massacres of the occupation through focusing on the internal developments in Yugoslavia, although the events there were not so serious when compared with the dangerous situation in Palestine.
		CNN tried to conceal the Intifada but failed because the situation in Yugoslavia settled down, forcing it to revert to the incidents in Palestine.
		In terms of media jargon used, CNN tried using misleading terms such as describing the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Sharon as a mere visit.

	QUIT! - Al-Aqsa Intifada: What Now for Palestine?
		The bad news about the Intifada, and the incipient new support movement is that absolutely no one is mentioning what used to be one of the official Palestinian positions -- a democratic secular state in all of Palestine.
		The good news about the Intifada is that it has sparked a new international solidarity movement.
		This represents a significant ideological victory for Israel, and is one that the israeli government has consciously worked to encourage, including support for right wing religious movements in surrounding areas.

		The al-Aqsa Intifada was intended to be a golden opportunity for the Islamic terror organizations, the Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, to justify their achievements in the struggle against Israel.
		The Palestinians’ stated goals in initiating the al-Aqsa Intifada are the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital, within the 1967 borders and the realization of the right of return for the Palestinian refugees.
		Thus, the al-Aqsa Intifada represents a confrontation, not between occupier and occupied, but rather, between a semi-state authority (the P.A.) and the State of Israel.

		On November 7, 2000, an investigatory committee led by former U.S. Senator George Mitchell was established to determine the causes of the violence and to make recommendations for calming the situation.
		Palestinian spokesmen maintained the violence was caused by the desecration of a Muslim holy place — Haram al-Sharif — by Sharon and the “thousands of Israeli soldiers” who accompanied him.

		According to PNA (Palestine National Authority) figures, 63% of Palestinian households had seen their incomes slashed in half since the intifada started in 2000 and 58% were living in poverty.
		On August 6, Israel released 300 Palestinian prisoners (many of whom were due to be released anyway and none of whom was suspected of having been involved in fatal attacks on Israelis) claiming it had fulfilled a key Palestinian demand in the Roadmap Peace process.

		Sharon's announced purpose was to demonstrate "Jewish sovereignty" over the al-Aqsa compound, but as the veteran correspondent Graham Usher points out, the "al-Aqsa intifada," as Palestinians call it, was not initiated by Sharon's visit; rather, by the massive and intimidating police and military presence that Barak introduced the following day, the day of prayers.
		During these days of strict internal restriction of movement in the West Bank, one can see how carefully each road was planned: So that 200,000 Jews have freedom of movement, about three million Palestinians are locked into their Bantustans until they submit to Israeli demands.
		Sharon is the very symbol of Israeli state terror and aggression, with a rich record of atrocities going back to 1953.

	The Al Aqsa Intifada
		The Al Aqsa Intifada, which brought the Oslo process officially to its end, revealed the colonialist assumptions on which it was based and the shaky arrangements that were supposed to sustain it.
		And indeed as Israeli commentators on the Al Aqsa intifada determined, "the Green Line has been blurred." However, this happened not only because of the strong identification with the uprising of their people in the '67 Occupied Territories that the Palestinians in Israel have manifested in their demonstrations.
		The recent Intifada made it clear that the Palestinian police, including the Preventive Security forces, perceive their duty as the protectors of their people when they are attacked by Israeli soldiers.

	"The Use of Palestinian Children in the Al-Aqsa Intifada" by Justus Reid Weiner
		The current Al-Aqsa intifada should be distinguished from the earlier intifada, which began in December 1987, had practically disappeared by the time of the Gulf War in January 1991, and ended with the commencement of the Oslo peace process in mid-1993.
		One major difference between the current Al-Aqsa intifada and its predecessor, the original intifada of a decade ago, is the enormous increase in Palestinian firepower, primarily in the form of tens of thousands of assault rifles.
		Palestinian sources have dubbed the current disturbances the "Al-Aqsa intifada." Intifada is the Arabic word for "uprising" or "shaking off" and Al-Aqsa is the mosque in Jerusalem which observant Moslems regard as their third holiest site, after Mecca and Medina.

		Al-Aqsa Intifada has also seen a remarkable coordination among all Palestinian resistance groups, contrary to the first Intifada during which tensions were running high.
		As the first Palestinian Intifada was manifested with broad participation of the Palestinian people, the second Intifada immediately turned into a military confrontation between the resistance groups and the occupation forces.
		The second Palestinian Intifada has seen the usage of more sophisticated weapons, contrary to the first Intifada, whose main weapon against the occupation forces was stones.
