In this issue you read about Ni'ilin,  the unlucky village supported by Israeli Anarchists which lost already so much to settlements and has become the new forefront of the acerbating struggle against the Wall,. On a more hopeful note - a report on dialogue between Gazans and Israelis from in and around Sderot; peace activists turning into sailors; demonstrating against Peres inside a settlement, and more picks of  things which happened this summer.  

With all the efforts of the peace movement, where are we going? The lead article is weighing the chances for peace based on two states from a historical perspective, the in-depth story of the many people, groups and movements who tried so hard since the very beginning of the conflict.
