Hillary Clinton says Palestinians must change attitudes about terrorism
680News.com ^ | 13 November 2005 | By: RACHEL HOAG

JERUSALEM (AP) - U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton said Sunday that she supports the separation barrier Israel is building along the edges of the West Bank, and that the onus is on the Palestinian Authority to fight terrorism.

"This is not against the Palestinian people," Clinton, a New York Democrat, said during a tour of a section of the barrier being built around Jerusalem. "This is against the terrorists. The Palestinian people have to help to prevent terrorism. They have to change the attitudes about terrorism."

Israel has built about three-fourths of the barrier, which is expected to stretch about 680 kilometres when complete. It says the structure is needed to keep suicide bombers, who have killed hundreds of Israelis during five years of fighting, from entering the country.

But the Palestinians harshly criticize the barrier because it cuts into the West Bank at several points. They say it is intended to steal disputed land they claim as part of a future independent state. The barrier also has prevented thousands of Palestinians from reaching their jobs, schools and farmland.

Clinton's comments echoed Israel's position that the Palestinians must crack down on militants or Israel will find ways to prevent attacks on its citizens.
