As Israeli tanks roll, views harden

Tamam Raja, a mother of 10 and a resident of the Jenin camp, spent last Tuesday night cowering under a blanket, counting 36 missiles and 18 shells as they exploded around her house. After a missile hit next door, she says, she listened to her son-in-law Yahya Zubeid cry for help until he died.

Interviewed in a village just outside Jenin on Friday, she said the future would bring more strife, not negotiations. "We do not want to talk – never, never, never," she vowed, manifesting the stress of her recent experiences with a mixture of tears and rage. "We thought once upon a time that we would make friends with [the Israelis], now that's impossible. They have taken our children away dead on the backs of trucks. They have let dogs eat the bodies of our children."
