• The following quotation was taken from an interview with  Arab high-school students.

  "I don't have an alternative," said a high school student named Yousef, who refused to give his name for fear of arrest. "I just have the rocks I can throw at soldiers."

  "President Arafat was in long negotiations with the Israelis ... and nothing was achieved," echoed his 20-year-old companion, a factory worker. "When we throw stones, when we attack the Israelis, it is better than negotiations."
