ON VIOLENCE
Violence is never justified. The only response to oppression, occupation and provocation is non-violence.
If we respond to violence and oppression with violence, we give the occupation the power to continue to oppress.
If we respond with violence to violence, we lose our morality and we lose the conflict.
Violence that is responded to with violence, only creates more violence. When we confront violence and oppression and occupation with non-violent repression, we can stop the violence against us as people.
Our purpose is not to become that with which we denounce, but rather to show the Israelis what they can become.
We must be strong. Strong in order to protect our people. We can stop future violence by resisting violence.
Non-violent civilian resistance is justified. But violent resistance, including violence in the defense of one's life and livelihood in a violent occupation is not justified.

OVERVIEW
The premise of the plan is simple: Work out the final peace before addressing the details. The challenge of the past which has been difficult to overcome is that the details in different areas of negotiations are interrelated and one cannot be resolved without resolving the related aspect in another. For example, the issues of settlements, final geography and the Palestinian refugees are interlinked and cannot be addressed separately.
So, define the final peace clearly and then work out the details. Accept the premise of sharing Jerusalem, for example, and then, in the context of a final peace, work out some of the details. It can't be harder that it has already proven to be in direct negotiations that have failed many times, many because of the opposition of the extremists on both sides, Palestinian and Israeli.
The past peace process did not fail because the proposed solutions were not workable. The past peace process failed because rejectionists among the Palestinians and the Israelis sabotaged peace through violence and provocation.
