In Baqa as Sharqiya, a market centre turned overnight into a dead-end enclave by the barricade Israel is erecting inside the occupied West Bank, townsfolk said on Thursday Bush's prod at his close ally would bring them no relief.
Bush urged Israel on Wednesday not to prejudice chances for peace negotiations by building ''walls and fences.''
''On the face of it, this was an important message from Bush -- that you cannot get peace by building fences and walls and degrading a whole nation,'' said Mayor Moayad Hussain.
''But we have heard only many words, we've never seen action by the Americans, to stop Israel slowly but surely reducing our world to an open-air prison,'' he said. ''We cannot work or trade. We cannot even visit relatives a few km (miles) away.''
