The experience of a lot of us women is that too much money is being spent on militarism and war.

The cross to me is complete nonviolence because Jesus said, "Love your enemy. Do not kill." I realized that I could never kill anyone or hurt anyone, but I was committed to trying to bring about social and political and economic change.

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

Once we link up and network, there will be new institutions, new beginnings, and a change in the economy because capitalism is destroying many people's lives. It's just one leap to think in a different way.

I believe passionately in the power of people.

We can rejoice and celebrate today because we are living in a miraculous time. Everything is changing and everything is possible.

Palestine has a very strong nonviolent movement.
