What is it about the Palestinian situation that makes the emergence of a leader who would profess non violence, or I dare say...love, seem like such an impossibility? Targeting conscious would be an effective strategy, as it has proven - with a better record than terrorism. Is it the "shame culture" thing, machismo, or are things too far gone with the mental illness of rabid revenge? Is it tw's suggestion that more death is needed to wake moderates? What will shake consciousness to stop? non violence
might . Does nonviolence as a strategy needs to gain some status as "hardball"?
