　　The 12-month bloody conflict has been a nightmare (噩梦) in the lives of thousands of Israelis (以色列人) and Palestinians (巴勒斯坦人)．Khalaf is one of them．Although she was born in fear of bombs and attacks finally her parents make a painful decision to send her back to the US．

　　“I wanted so much to stay here and to go to university here ” she said．“I'm afraid of leaving my home and my parents．But here the bloody attack is not going to end soon．”

　　The war has broken the dreams of a generation raised in peace．

　　In the 1990s Israeli and Palestinian leaders were moving towards an agreement to end the long-lasting fight over territory (领土) and the ownership of the Holy City Jerusalem．This gave the new generation hope for a peaceful future．

　　But now at the Friends School in Ramallah attended by children of rich English-speaking Palestinian families only 300 pupils started the new school year while last year there were 480．

　　According to a recent report 28 per cent of Israelis aged from 18 to 28 have considered leaving the country in the past 6 months．

　　To have a safe future we have no other choice but to go abroad a 16-year-old Israeli boy said．

　　Not only does the future of the young generation lie in another place but also the adults in both Palestine and Israel don't see any hope in their own countries．
