...waters are lifeless. The only color to be seen under the waves comes from the luminous green of a beer can or the white from a Styrofoam takeout box. Onshore, as the sun goes down, the beach could barely be more alive. Crowds of backpackers squeeze into seven beachfront clubs on a mile-long strip of white sand. Many wear fluorescent body paint. Glowing psychedelic sculptures line the shore. Hawkers sell food, water, cigarettes, marijuana, ecstasy, magic mushrooms, amphetamines. Prostitutes work the crowds.

After the bombing, Israel closed all crossings from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and barred Arafat from using the Gaza airport. Across the beachfront promenade from the Dolphinarium, Israeli rioters besieged the Hassan Bek mosque even as the Cabinet met. Rioters wearing swimsuits crossed from the beach to the mosque to hurl stones at a few dozen worshipers and to charge police, who brought up water cannon and horses. Even many of the left...
