The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

Israel recently demolished the Palestinian-built road, which is in one of the areas under its control. Altogether, those areas account for about 60 percent of the West Bank, one of the territories the Palestinians seek for a future state. Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad says he needs to be able to develop those areas as part of a two-year plan to lay the foundations of a state. On Tuesday, he inspected the demolished one mile (two kilometer) road, which runs from the northern village of Bani Hassan to nearby olive groves. id Links to the latest articles in this section Soldiers Kidnap Five Palestinians Near Jenin Military presence at Hebron schools – regular updates Palestinians in West Bank`s Area C suffer in limbo
