...Bank Palestinians. Rather than follow the 1967 borders as originally proposed, Sharon's proposed fence essentially encircles the current PA territories in the West Bank, keeping most of the settlements and more than half the land of the West Bank in Israeli hands. Sharon's aides explained his "occupation" remark as a reference to Israeli rule over Palestinian population centers, rather than to the lands conquered in 1967.

Undergirding this abundance is the book’s central Theme, that of (the) rabbit(s). It can fairly be said, with remarkable brashness and deceptively little initial qualification, that John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men is all about rabbits. Rabbits are more than just characters in the novel: they in some sense are the novel, and yet they exceed (run outside) it and are possessed by it all at once. To Steinbeck...
