| Abstract: | FOR 15 years, the killing has gone on. For 15 years, the world has shut its eyes, tight. East Timor is Palestine: Thousands of youths unfurl banners, demonstrate, sabotage army vehicles, argue with foreign soldiers occupying their homeland, demanding independence and their right (under the U.N. charter) to self-determination. The army cracks down brutally, attacking and arresting unarmed students, increasing troop levels and surveillance, sending in the defence minister to warn that all dissent will be "wiped out."
