Quotations

"[A]s a person committed to nonviolence, I view the use of militarism by states or non-state actors to ensure security or resist occupation as a self-defeating strategy that promotes more violence and suffering and does not, in the end, result in well-being or peace for beleaguered populations." (Mondoweiss, Jan. 11, 2010; photo gazafreedommarch.org)
