In terms of what is the solution is going forward, in my view, it is the grassroots human-rights groups - both Israeli and Palestinian - that are doing exactly what needs to be done, which is building trust, developing relationships and building that sense of common community which is essential if we're going to figure out how to move forward.

I think we are only going to get it by standing up and voting our values, understanding that the lesser evil doesn't solve the problem.

I think he's on the wrong team, perhaps because he's been in Washington, D.C., too long, because he used to really understand independent politics and why we cannot have a viable political system unless we have independent political parties. Otherwise we just keep marching to the right.

I think it would be a disaster if Donald Trump is elected. It will also be a disaster if Hillary Clinton is elected.
