Fifty years on, Israelis and Palestinians must learn from the Algerian
war

The commander of the Israeli forces that invaded Tulkarm in March
2002, Colonel Moshe "Chico" Tamir, had an unusual idea. His staging of
the surrender of the town's fighters to the Israeli army seems to have
been inspired by his recollection of Gillo Pontecorvo's celebrated 60s
film The Battle of Algiers. The TV crews invited to document the
occasion were confronted with the familiar image from the film of
militants climbing out of their hiding places with hands raised, as
the paratroopers marched into the casbah. But the artistic-minded
officer seems not to have watched that movie to the end: for although
the French won the battle, they lost the war.
