of the palestinian.our experience dealing with the israel and palestinian that were oppose to the type of work that you were doing when you were working with seize the peace in jerusalem and sami's experiences over the years doing this type of work? >> it's a very complex, it's a very important question that you ask in a complex one. i'll do my best to try to answer it in a pithy of way as i can. there are absolutely israeli and palestinians who are opposed to dialogue-based work. and i guess, the definition of what's considered nor lal decision in palestinian society they find the most -- like i said there's different definition, the one they usually use is that the criticism about the programs is that when there's such a power in balance, and there are programs that are focused on relationship buildings without directly confronting the power and balance that you're actually normalizing the occupation, that the criticism that those programs that the endanger of reinforcing the power structures by creati

and palestinians together.eir not already accepting the power was your experience that was supposed to the type of work you we're doing it in jerusalem? >> a very complex question so i will do my best. absolutely is really is and palestinians are opposed to the dialogue based work. what is considered normalization, there is different definitions criticism is when there is such a power imbalance without confronting the power the criticism of reinforcing the power structure by focusing on relationship building that needs to be addressed. the counter argument how will people be aware the power structures are so an evil? that is what made them aware and politicized them. been for me personally i choose to support work that is joining or engaged in direct action non-violence so the villages where the wall was built but then of nonviolence but the work that i am drawn to. sami continues to pay a high price. the army and people needed to confront the status quo that can only have been through dialogue. i do not like t
