As a person committed to human rights and international law and the right of self-determination, I would like to see the occupation end. And then it is up to the Palestinians themselves to decide what they want.

One great hope lies in the fact that there is a new consciousness in our World, particularly among young people.

We as a human family are on this train that is taking us into more and more war and more and more abuse of human rights where a lot of civilians are being killed and where human rights and international law are being set aside by America and NATO.

People have the right to come and choose their own political solutions.

I am very hopeful that there is a solution to the Israeli/Palestinian injustice.

President Obama continues to support war. He continues to remove many basic civil liberties and human rights. He continues to condone drones in Pakistan and Afghanistan that kill women and children. He meets with his advisers every Tuesday morning and signs extrajudicial killings. To me, those are not the actions of a peace person.

It's not for me to say from the outside what the Palestinian people should have. That would be very arrogant.
