Kristof: Waiting for Gandhi
Bilin, West Bank

"Despite being stoned and tear-gassed on this trip, I find a reed of hope here. It's that some Palestinians are dabbling in a strategy of non-violence that just might be a game changer."

by Nicholas Kristof

1. Nicholas Kristof
one of the most sane, compassionate voices in our country. He was greatly responsible for keeping Darfur in the news, and now he's apparently taken on another "intractible" location. NYT is lucky to have him.

2. I've been asking for some time why they haven't done this...

Leaders like Gandhi and King are very rare. It will take someone with great skills to convince these people to eschew violence while performing dramatic acts and accepting violence from the Israelis.
