Bomb Attack Highlights Pivotal Role of U.S. in Region
(Guardian-UK) Chris McGreal - "Even if the Palestinians think the Americans side with Israelis, they also know the Americans are the only ones who can stop Israel," said Shmuel Sandler, an analyst and professor at Bar-Ilan University. Prof. Sandler said the attack was all the more mystifying because American monitors on the ground often worked in the Palestinians' favor. "They monitor settlement activity, they meet Palestinian officials and give them status. The Palestinian Authority will pay the highest political price for this," he said.
