• Few Palestinians are listening to the western debate over non-violence

    Thanks for your contribution, Max. I haven't heard this phrased this well before.

    The academic debate is only academically interesting, and it is only of marginal importance who "wins" it. What matters is that those of us who don't risk anything, who have not done everything within their power to obstruct the violence exercised and advocated by our own societies, those who are not willing to pay the same price as Palestinans in order to end the violence and who are not putting their bodies on the line, along with the bodies of their children, their houses, their health, their future - those of us have no business of lecturing people fighting for survival and dignity.

    Lecturing them is just one other form of disenfranchisement.
