The Palestinian/Israeli conflict is an exteremely difficult dillema, one that no one has been able to solve definitively since it started. Both sides make good points, and both sides have been guilty of behavior that, from the standpoint of those not directly involved, could be construed as problematic. Anna Baltzer has been working with the International Women's Peace Service to bring light to the plight of the Jewish citizens of the West Bank and emphasize the importance of nonviolent resistance as a tool of political reform. In the end, peaceful and respectful assertion of autonomy is the only thing that has ever made a lasting difference. No matter what stance you take, Baltzer will have a lot of important points to make.
