The Mercy Corps Blog

A daily look into the work, thoughts and ideas of our team around the world.

Blog Post Posted January 22, 2009, 2:06 pm by Haitham

We have to believe that peace is the only solution.

Haitham: "[Because of the war] I started to view the governments of other countries differently. It seems they think that the civilians and the victims are not real human beings. And so I do not believe in their role.

"My parents, siblings and even the younger generation all experienced war and will continue to experience that. Yet, I hope that there will be some peaceful solution after this war. We have to believe that peace is the only solution.

"I would like to tell the extremists to let the moderate parties find a solution. There should not be any kind of extremism because we, as Palestinians, have one common goal."
