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

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.

I have always been inspired by the American peace movement because it is operating in a very hard and militarist environment.

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 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.

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

I witnessed a lot of violence, and I found myself asking the question: Do you ever use violence to try to bring about political change?
