The Evil Fence: A Ghetto for the Palestinians, A Disaster for the Israelis There is no substitute for the Green Line as a border of peace between Israel and Palestine. As long as the occupation continues without peace or borders, no wall will help. A border of peace will do away with the need for a wall.

73
WOMEN REFUSE We, Israeli women - Jewish and Palestinian - oppose the occupation of the Palestinian people and refuse to take part in any of its destructive aspects.
74
What Women Refuse We refuse to live as enemies. We refuse to fulfill the roles that women are expected to fulfill during wartime. We refuse to pay the economic and social price of the Occupation.
75
Also We refuse to be ignorant and to succumb to terrorizing and silencing. We refuse to raise children to war, poverty and oppression. We refuse to remain silent.
76
We believe A collective refusal of women can change reality. A feminine refusal means an alternative voice and a language opposed to the language of power.
