     Are you saying civil disobedience won't work any more?  I 
disagree completely.  With the world basically unsympathetic to
Israel to begin with, and billions of oil dollars for the Arabs
to use for publicity, any Palestinian passive resistance would
get saturation coverage world wide.  But it's just not in their
DNA to react to a perceived offense with anything but violence.
