We Await You in Palestine

By Mansour Mansour

For every day that we have a non-violent demonstration or action, the sweat of Palestinians, internationals and Israeli activists proves the reality of solidarity and the possibility of coexistence between people.

Force is not the language for peace. Unlike the coalition forces who claim to create democracy and global justice through their weapons and destructive technology, in Palestine, simple human beings with empty hands and full hearts face one of the strongest armies in the world, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF). We won’t react towards the IOF by using the same means of violence that they use against us.

We are not teachers or lecturers, but we have the experience of 60 years of resisting the Israeli Occupation. By our continuous resistance and the hope we have maintained, we prove that force and violence is the weapon of the loser. We need you, our friends, side by side with us, to work for that peace. We await you in Palestine.

Mansour Mansour is one of the leading organizers in Bid’du, one of the villages most organized against the construction of the Wall.
