"Yes, we Palestinians must accept blame for our perilous situation. However, Palestinian Foreign Minister Ziad Abu Amr has correctly declared, "If you have two brothers, put them in a cage and deprive them of basic and essential needs for life, they will fight." The fact that we would sink to this level is perhaps the surest sign of the terrible damage meted out to us over the years by dispossession and occupation."-Dr. Mona El-Farra

On June 15, 2007, OPEDNEWS.COM published my interview with Dr. Mona El-Farra:

Dr. El-Farra's commentary published yesterday by the Austin American Statesman is the lead article on the WAWA blog today.

What follows that are the views of an Israeli and Palestinian who are Co-CEO's who work in respectful harmony at IPCRI/Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information in Jerusalem.

Respect and Harmony is a necessity to birth reconciliation;

And only through reconciliation can we begin the world again.

In clean up position is an email from ISM: International Solidarity Movement that underscores:

The root of the violence in the Holy Land:

Is THE OCCUPATION which has entered its 40th year!
