met iyad burnat yesterday evening. he was here in rochester to talk about 8 yrs of non-violent resistance to military occupation, in the village of bil’in. he’s been arrested 12 times and life is unimaginably challenging in palestine, but he’s as defiant as ever. when asked how he could remain hopeful in the face of politicians such as netanyahu or lieberman, he said simply: “they r not king of the world.” he added: “u should have a revolution in america.”
