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

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

There is no political will for peace in the Israeli government. They're not serious about political peace because they're still building settlements and demolishing Palestinian homes. That is a great tragedy.

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

We mustn't start off with the idea that there's only militarism, invasions, and occupations. We really have to look: What are the alternatives here?

In Northern Ireland, people said there would never be a solution. But once people begin to have the political will and force their governments to sit down, it can happen.

The fact is that the American government and NATO have destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan. Their next targets will be Syria and Iran.
