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

Our common humanity is more important than all the things that divide us.

We have to start from the fact that there are always alternatives to violence.

We need human security: food, education, health care for our children.

We need radical thinking, creative ideas, and imagination.

We need now to build a culture of genuine nonviolence and real democracy.

I believe that hope for the future depends on each of us taking nonviolence into our hearts and minds and developing new and imaginative structures which are nonviolent and life-giving for all.
