What's long been missing on the Palestinian side is a peace movement. In the last few years this has begun to change. I've previously mentioned the One Voice movement. Here's another voice, a posting from Mahmoud Jabari, a young citizen journalist who lives in Hebron...

called the Kairos Palestine Document. Written by a group of Palestinian Christians, the aim of the Kairos Document is the elimination of Israe,l and it urges economic warfare through a boycott.

The document also approves “armed resistance” against Israel as carried out by “some political parties,” meaning Hamas and other terrorist groups.  However, the document rejects the charge of terrorism, labelling the murder of Israelis as “legal resistance.”

More than 60,000 Palestinians expected to visit Israel as tourists in 2011

The permits are not usually issued to individuals or families, but mainly to schools and summer camps wishing to take children to visit beaches and mixed Jewish-Arab cities in Israel.
