GS101 Chapter Notes -Deeper Understanding, Nonviolent Resistance, Second Intifada
Document Summary
When that bridge has been built between the two sides, a powerful connection has been made - one that separates participants in a dialogue from non-participants. Dialogue with the enemy has its price too. One of the obstacles facing dialogue participants is the accusation that they are giving up the fight against injustice and escaping the harsh reality of the conflict. Dialogue is not a substitute for social action. Protesting against and resisting oppression are still necessary for social and political change to occur. Dialogue means we sit and talk with each other, especially those with whom we may think we have the greatest differences. Remain committed to the process during difficult period. Be willing to be changed by the situation. These are the ideal guiding principles for dialogue. There are no palestinians to talk to about peace. A parallel set of statements is voiced by palestinians.
