Framework is not a final, signed agreement. It's just something used to build upon to 
get to that agreement. The entire oslo process was trying to get to self government 
and succeeded in at least that (the palestinians are almost totally under a 
palestinian government).

But do you believe them? Does the red cross say anything about them? Does anyone? 
That's the point of all this. Israel has to do things to stop attacks and the world 
can go screw off if they don't like it. The EU is being sued now for giving money to 
Arafat that's been used for terror. They didn't care how the money was being spent 
even when they were told about it. If a government doesn't care and the media doesn't 
care, will the people? Not really. People for the most part are sheep. It takes 
multiple deaths for people to open their eyes that something is not right and then 
they go back to sleep.

During a battle you do not allow civilians into the war zone. During a battle you do 
not allow reporters into the war zone. The cry against Israel would have been much 
more if a ambulance was destroyed during the battle vs. just not letting it in.

What choice do the people have?

In many ways they do. Can a Jew go to the tomb of Joseph to pray? No. Why? Because it 
was seized by the palestinians and destroyed. Can they go onto the temple mound? No. 
because the courts are afraid it'll cause the Muslims to riot. I think that's a big 
separation between religion and state. If there wasn't, then the temple mound would be 
open to all and other places that are 'off limits' would be open again.

No? Guess it's just not newsworthy.
