No, I don't think the peaceful shields will work because there are going to be gunmen shooting from BEHIND these white-vest wearing peace lovers.
They are going to be used by those who don't want peace. I too respect their effort, I just hope they don't get too hurt. Of course, in the end, their way is the only way. Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/10/02 12:04AM >>> Two converging thoughts --- Something I read today recommending that Palestinians embrace the examples of Martin Luther King Jr. and Ghandi -- instead of suicide bombers, they should engage in peaceful protests, blocking Israeli military troop movements. If they want peace, this would send a strong message to the world and increase pressure on Israel to take a more open approach to Palestine. On the news, I saw a report of more and more Americans and Europeans pouring into Palestine. They were white vests and engage in peaceful intradictions on behalf of the Palestinians. They put their lives at risk to protest Israeli action. They practice and preach non-violence. While I remain committed to the idea that Israel must CRUSH the terrorist infrastructure, but I think there is something to admire about those who are engaging in non-violent action -- it's idealistic and probably won't work, but if the Palestinians would embrace this example, they would accomplish their goals more quickly. In fact, if they had started such a movement 50 years ago, there would be a Palestinian state now, along side Israel, and both states would be wealthy and healthy and friends.
