Dear Chevra,

The following message comes from the Palestinian town
of Beit Sahour on the
West Bank. Their unambiguous condemnation of the
barbaric attack yesterday
stands in stark contrast to the message the major
media is putting out about
Palestinian "joy" over this heinous act.

Not that the official media are "wrong." -- No doubt
some Palestinians are
celebrating this successful attack on what they see
as the supplier of arms and
money to their occupiers.

But the official media ARE wrong in not reporting the
mix of opinion, in not
reporting the truth of deep disagreements among
Palestinians.

Some are horrified at this attack, as they have been
by attacks on Israeli
civilians. [After the Beit Sahour report, see also
the report from East
Jerusalem.]

From: Beit Sahour Municipality

In the name of Beit Sahour Municipality and in the
name of each and
every citizen of the Shepherds field Beit Sahour; we
convey our deepest
condolences to the entire American people for the
horrific loss of
innocent lives as a result of the horrible acts of
terror. In
particular, we share the grievances of all the
families of the victims.
We pray to God to please give these families the
patience and the
strength.

As Palestinians who suffer daily form acts of
Israeli aggression
against our innocent people, we cannot find the words
to express how
shocked we were to see the horrific scenes on TV. We
condemn such acts
and we do not accept such horrific acts in the 3rd
millennium where
peace, prosperity, and freedom should cover the whole
world.

We reiterate our deepest condemnation of this
horrible act on these
innocent humans. No matter how can we express our
sorrow, we can't find
enough words to say how sorry we are.

Please let us work together to stop these acts of
terrorism all over the
world. Let us work hand in hand for establishing a
safer world to live
in.

p.s. Please pass on this message to all our friends;
we want them to
know that each person in Beit Sahour shares this
message with us.
