Here I would like to suggest after two years of violent struggling, and fighting, which many lives were lost as victims, to think of a new strategy based on nonviolent struggle, which became known and acceptable internationally and locally, where this weapon will disarm Sharon and his government from all their justifications and violent reactions against our people specially in the absence of the military power balance between the Palestinian people, and the Israeli army, as it is known that the nonviolent struggle is the struggle of the weak against the strong, and is suitable when one of the conflict sides has rights, moral, and mental power, but do not have the military methods or the necessary weapons.

This is naturally what happened with our prophet Mohammad (GOD Bless Him) in his early days as a profit, as he was alone with no military or material power, but he was holding a superior message, which he started peacefully, getting exposed to all kind of violence and humiliation by his village (Quraish), but he never answered to this violence with violence, but by praying to god and spreading the message of truth which he was holding, and he succeeded actually in speaking hi message without replying to Quraish violence. This is a clear example that the nonviolent way is one of the methods used in Islam; another example is the Christ way to reply to those against him, when they were seeking all methods to provoke him, but he was stronger mentally and spiritually, and did not use violence against violence, and continues his way in spite of all that where he succeeded in spreading the message of Christianity, which is the most widely spread worldwide. But if we took new examples, we can consider what Martin Luther king did in the USA, during African American struggle for equality, and justice, where he succeeded to get African American their rights in equality in the USA, which is the greatest proofs for the strength of the nonviolence struggle, and its morality and effectiveness.

In a return to our current situation in Palestine, if we took a look to the situation between us and the forces of occupation, it is clear that the power balance is in the favor of occupation from the angle of the military, economical, and financial  forces in general, where they have tanks, airplanes, and different kinds of weapons and financial support, while we in return have our moral strength, because we are the ones who live under occupation, while they are the one who occupies us, we are the one who are exposed to prejudice, while they are the one who implement that., and collective punishments on us among other things, while all these methods and violations of human rights that they use cannot be defended morally, neither locally nor internationally......
