A JOINT Israel-Palestine Marathon for Peace

A great idea but when Israel has offered to take part in joint sporting events such as one planned for this summer - a soccer match beteween Barcelona and a joint Israeli/Palestininan team, the Palestinians refuse to take part. Of course Israel Arabs take a full part in Israeli sport with many having played for the national Israeli side.

Even the organizers said this was not to be politicized... so why this paper or AFP chose a gun barrel in a menacing form to show the runners as if they are under a gun??? To be sure this gun is carried by a PA-Palestinian Police, this needs to be cleared up ! NOT by an Israeli. I condemn the use of this photo, and ask for it's immediate REMOVAL from this article. The media has no right to perpetuate the conflict, even when something as positive as a Marathon is taking place, and try to ruin it by injecting a political angle !!!!

"Right to Movement Palestine Marathon" has nothing to do with peace and is simply a feeble condemnation of Israel's efforts to prevent palestinian terror.
