Do not cut lose from your longings - for what are we without our longings?

Recently with IS and Islamist fanaticism, it has become easy for the Israeli government to simply push the Palestinian struggle for self-determination into the same ranks as these fundamentalist movements.

I have seen for the first time in 100 years of conflict, the two peoples - the Israeli people and the Palestinian people - are ahead of their leaderships.

A conflict begins and ends in the hearts and minds of people, not in the hilltops.

Literature may open a third eye in the middle of the reader's forehead.

When I say compromise I do not mean capitulation. When I say compromise I definitely do not mean what Jesus Christ meant when he offered us to turn our other cheek to our enemies. Compromise means, try to meet the other somewhere half-way. And, this can only happen if the other is willing to go half-way in order to meet you. That is the very strict line between compromise and capitulation.

I don't think a decent person has to choose between being pro-Israel and pro-Palestine. I think you have to be pro-Peace.
