I must point out that no-one on the left that I knew back in the early sixties was in favor of attacking and killing segregationists - despite that some segregationists did not hold the same views toward us.

Overwhelmingly, we supported the non-violent action strategy of Martin Luther King - which eventually prevailed.

Had we chosen foolishly to use violence in our struggle - we would certainly have been marginalized and would have done our cause much damage - probably even destroyed it. That's what Hamas and Hizbullah and other terrorist groups are doing to the cause of the Palestinians.

The same can be said for the anti-VietNam war movement which I also fully participated in.

I want the Palestinians to live in peace in their own nation and to prosper. Your defense of the attacks of terrorists on the state of Israel - inasmuch as they have any success - are destroying the Palestinian's chance of any future.
