weapons lead to a dead end

strange destiny of those Palestinians now everyone calls moderate. The U.S., Europe, Israel said they often seem to want help but do not even consider them worthy of respect and listening. Abu Mazen is asking him to stop the Israeli war on Gaza. Not Hamas: Hamas leaders are divided, but the most radical of them knows that war feeds the hatred and fundamentalism and the martyrs of Gaza inflame the Arab world and make even more precarious and vacillating leadership related to the ' West.
On the other hand Israel has killed dozens in recent years and dozens of Hamas leaders to begin the movement's founder, Sheikh Yassin. But did not solve any problem. Because with the murders - even targeted - not solve political problems. Because the use of force is sometimes unavoidable, but should be at the service of politics and law and can not replace them.
is why we must stop. Not only because of the unbearable price of broken lives and dead children, but because the political victim of this war may be just the hope of peace and the more moderate Palestinian leadership and open.
know Abu Mazen for many years. I was with him the day the Palestinian parliament voted confidence as the prime minister decided - very reluctantly - from Yasser Arafat. I wanted him to feel our support and the International Socialist leader who had always fought with more courage terrorism and defended by peaceful and nonviolent Palestinian independence.
