An eye-witness account of the political mood in the West Bank and Gaza in the wake of the major crackdown by the Israelis on Palestinian activism in April 1987. It is argued that the Arabs under Israeli occupation are far more united than previously and that greater tolerance for each other and all efforts to challenge the occupation has become a major characteristic. The report includes detailed descriptions of the new Palestinian Centre for the Study of Non-violence, which advocates Mahatma Gandhi-like tactics and also of the recent pessimistic assessments by former Jerusalem assistant mayor Meron Benvenisti.
