Destroy my house. Take my job. Steal my Land. Imprison my Mother. Bomb my country. Starve us all. Humiliate us all.

we can also choose to be a war criminal like Peres, Kissinger, and Hitler or by a peacemaker like Desmond Tutu and Mahatma Gandhi .. We can embrace our common humanity and failings and call for coexistence and annulment of all ideologies of racism and segregation (e.g. Zionism). We do have choices. In these choices lies our true freedom and liberation as human beings. Those of us who refuse enslavement have what Mahmoud Darw ish called an incurable malady: hope.mazin qumsiyeh

'President Obama was right when he declared in his Cairo speech, "Palestinians must abandon violence. Resistance through violence and killing is wrong and it does not succeed. For centuries black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation. But it was not violence that won full and equal rights." As he suggested, it was nonviolence that carried the day and advanced rights and justice in South Africa and other struggles'.john dugard

'The evil being visited upon palestinian people is almost beyond omprehension. One can only pray that it so appalls the world that, at some point, it simply will not stand. The Crusades ended. The Holocaust ended. Apartheid ended. So too must the siege of Gaza. Entering Gaza with humanitarian aid is a good start. And President Barack Obama and the current U.S. dministration could absolutely lead the way in stopping it by cutting off all military aid to Israel.' steven degange

.... the world has been looking at Palestine mainly through Zionist spectacles ...No lasting solution of the Palestine problem is to be hoped for until the injustice is removed. ...To those who look ahead, beyond the smoke-screen of legend and propaganda, the way to a solution is clear: it lies along the path of ordinary common sense and justice. " From The Arab Awakening: The Story of the Arab National Movement by George Antonius Intl Book Centre (1938, reprinted 1985)

84 year-old ex president Jimmy Carter stated upon seeing the horror that is Gaza: My primary feeling today is one of grief and despair and an element of anger when I see the destruction perpetrated against innocent people. I have to hold back tears when I see the deliberate destruction that has been wracked against your people. I feel partially responsible for this as must all Americans and Israelis. [This school was] deliberately destroyed by bombs from F16s made in my country.

Americans wonder why they hate us so much. Juan Cole theorized that the Israeli invasion of Lebanon 1982 is what spurred Osama Ben Laden to attack America in 2001. I think thats possible. Ain el Hilweh 1982 makes Gaza 2006 look like a soccer scrimmage. Americans are so insulated, so cut off from understanding the depth of the horrors perpetrated with our assent that they really dont get it, still. Peoples eyes glaze over if you bring it up.

Since 1967, the Israeli authorities have demolished more than 24,000 Palestinian homes in the Occupied Territories, some as collateral damage in military operations (4000 homes were demolished in the recent invasion of Gaza), some as collective punishment (the obliteration of the Jenin refugee camp in 2002 being just one example),

Rethinking costs of peace BY JOSH RUEBNER Since 1949, the U.S.has provided Israel more than $100 billion in military and economic assistance. Yet the provision of U.S. weapons to Israel at taxpayer expense has done nothing to bring Israelis and Palestinians closer to achieving a just and lasting peace. Rather, these weapons have had the exact opposite effect, as documented recently by Amnesty International, pointed to U.S. weaponsasaprime factor fuelingIsraeli-Palestinian conflict.
