I came home and I switched on the TV and I saw it. My sister called me and she told me she thinks it�s Bin Laden.

This was the first time I had heard of Bin Laden because I�m young and I don�t know him.

After that I was watching 24 hours a day and I was overwhelmed. I couldn�t believe that in America this could happen.

It hurts inside

This was the first time I felt that maybe the world now is going to see what we feel here in Israel. Every day I wake up and I go to school and I feel fear in my heart - if I�m going to explode today, if my friends are going to die.

I saw many bomb explosions here in Jerusalem and many of my friends were killed in the city centre. Every day we face this reality and it scares me.

Every time I see an Arabic person I feel fear. And this is what I am facing every single day - if I should go to city centre, if I should go to the mall.

I thought that maybe 11 September would change the way people around the world think about us, but it hasn�t changed.

It hurts me inside because they think we�re bad people and kill the Arabs and we don�t give them anything.
