100 years of non-violent Palestinian resistance

I picked up a freebie issue of Time magazine yesterday and I was surprised to see a letter on non-violent Palestinian resistance.

I'm copying it out as it appears on page 10 of the 2 May 2011 edition because the letters aren't available on line:

Nonviolence among Palestinians is not new.

The recently released book Popular Resistance

in Palestine, by Mazin Qumsiyeh, documents

over 100 years of everyday acts of resis-

tance, with suicide bombings and rocket

attacks as the exception.  The world needs

to hear more about these courageous acts.
