Setting aside human rights and international law to have an agenda of war and killing and occupation to me is totally unacceptable.

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.

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

To stand up for peace and against war and for disarmament is very courageous here in America.

Palestine has a very strong nonviolent movement.

It's okay to be scared, but fear is different. Fear is when we let being scared prevent us from doing what love requires of us.

People keep me going. I believe people are wonderful.
