Last week's visit to a holy site in Jerusalem, where the sacred al-Aqsa mosque is situated, by Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon was well orchestrated. I believe it was done in co-operation with the Israeli Government.
Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Barak desperately needs to gain the support of the opposition, of course, at the expense of the peace process.
To see the Israeli Army using tanks and helicopters against children whose only weapons are stones defies logic. Israel took off its mask as a peace-loving country to reveal its real face to the world - that of a brutal, occupying force.
It horrified me to see an unarmed Palestinian man trying to shield his crying and terrified son from Israeli bullets.
The father was seriously wounded and the son lay dead in his arms. The ambulance driver trying to reach the father was killed and another driver was seriously wounded.
What are Palestinians supposed to do when they are humiliated and many are killed? When some of them turn to the only means they have and become involved in suicidal operations against Israel, they are labelled as terrorists and the whole world remembers what they did. When they do nothing, their murderers wash the blood off their hands and the world forgets these dead Palestinians.
