If I wanted you to worry about me more than you already do, I'd tell you about my proximity to some of the violence. They are, in fact, perhaps the most broadly educated people in the Arab World, if not the entire third world of planet Earth certainly in terms of literacy rates, economic and political issues, and global awareness. Palestinians, for all their gains, are still denizens of an occupied land. And environment is a demanding and inescapable educationalist. That is not the end.
Violence is the means.
Attaining world sympathy is the means. The first might happen, the latter certainly will not. Not even student members of Hamas Political Party can honestly say this. I'm happy to report that no one of significant position or intelligence wants this. There have been too many gains, albeit relatively unproductive ones, to throw away all the sympathy and positive attention and with them the futures of the children of Palestine.
