Palestine has a very strong nonviolent movement.

We have really got to create a culture in our world today where we recognize that every human life is sacred and precious and we have no right to take another human life.

The experience of a lot of us women is that too much money is being spent on militarism and war. We need human security: food, education, health care for our children. We don't want to waste it on wars and militarism. That will be our focus: building a culture that moves away from militarism.

The vast majority of people have never hurt anybody in their lives, don't want killing, don't want wars. In all the countries of the world, they just want to love their families and get on with their lives.

That will be my focus: building a culture that moves away from militarism.

We mustn't start off with the idea that there's only militarism, invasions, and occupations. We really have to look: What are the alternatives here?

We need radical thinking, creative ideas, and imagination.
