Able To Sleep, If Nothing Else. And This Is GOOD

添付されていないと思った領収書はMt. E の大きな領収書の裏に隠れていた。よかった。

先週の木曜日、クリニックに行って、「“Ativan” を２錠にしてもいい」と言われたので、そうしてみた。案外、すぐに眠れた。それだけはなく、「眠りすぎ」かと思うほどだったので、翌日から1.5 錠にした。以降、朝まで眠れないということがなくなった。少ない方がいいことに間違いないので、今日から１錠に戻してみた。眠れないようなら、後で0.5 錠追加する。

DAY 6, 16 JULY 2000: At one point the Israelis suggested having a fund that would be used to compensate both Palestinian refugees and the Jewish settlers who would be removed from occupied territories. Saeb Erekat exploded at [Gilead] Sher:
No sir, you are not going to be compensated for your years of occupation. We will demand compensation for every day of your occupation if you’re going down to this line. Somebody who has occupied me for thirty-five years and then comes to ask me for compensation? You took my childhood. I was twelve years old when your occupation came to my home town Jericho. I was never again the same person. You have denied me the right to live normally for thirty-five years. And now you wan compensation for this! I will calculate every hour, and find every legal way to make you pay for every damn hour, killing, bulldozing of homes, confiscating of land, closing schools, deporting, wounding, killing… (p. 97)

Clinton said to Arafat: ‘all the good things and all the suggestions [in the back channel] came from the Israelis… Your team sat there doing nothing.’ Robert Malley, there taking notes, recalls how Clinton told Arafat how disappointed he was that Arafat was not giving anything. With his voice rising, Clinton continued, ‘You haven’t moved one inch, whereas Barak is moving. And you haven’t done a thing… You’re now wasting this opportunity.’ At first Arafat was dismissive, playing down what was achieved in the night’s discussions. He said that that 89.5 per cent of territory offered by Gilead Sher and Shlomo Ben-Ami in the back channel for a Palestinian state, with sovereignty in several outer neighbourhoods of East Jerusalem and an independent border with Jordan, were, Arafat put it to Clinton, ‘less than Rabin offered’, and that ‘Rabin promised me ninety per cent [of land].’ This is sheer nonsense, as Clinton knew very well, and so he lashed out at Arafat. ‘We can all go home and I will say [that Barak] negotiated seriously and you did not.’ (p. 99)
