(Independent-UK) Eric Silver and Sa'id Ghazali - Salma al Debi, 22, works with youths, aged 14 to 18, at the Cultural Centre for Youth Development in Nablus. "We have a lost generation. May God help them. They believe in violence. A culture of death has spread among them. Those who are willing to die as martyrs are in the thousands. About 65% of the group of 400 young people I work with believe in martyrdom. 'Your people want you to stay alive,' I tell them. Only living people can serve their homeland, not dead."
