“Some young Palestinians dancing and enjoying “sweets from bin Laden” tell us nothing about the heartfelt sorrow and shock of Beit Sahour, ordinary Palestinians, or even Arafat himself (giving blood).”
“Jewish settlers with yarmulkes and Israeli soldiers bulldozing Palestinian homes tell us nothing about masses of Israeli and other Jews yearning for a just, secure, and fair peace in the Middle East.”
“This is indeed a small world, a delicate world. We’re the rich and visible elephant within it. We’re so big that when we move, even when we don’t move, we affect others, but we also massively affect the world we live in as well. In our Rambo like adventure in Afghanistan, in our callous attitude toward the slaughter of Muslims in Algeria, as in Vietnam, and elsewhere, we sowed the wind, and we are reaping the whirlwind.”
