There are hundreds if not thousand versions of Christianity. You would not expect that a Menonites to be able to explain Roman Catholics or Mormons. And they do not meet each others definition of Christian.
I respect Mr.Nusseibeh's motives, but. . . Yes, when Palestinians are polled, they say, in majority, they want peace (same with Israelis). But follow up that question with: "Do you think Israel belongs, rightfully, to the Palestianians?", they will, in majority, answer "yes." They do not want the W. Bank and Gaza - who would?; they want Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, Etc. So. . . I do not believe, even with a Palestinian State (good idea), there will ever be peace. Palestinians - and their neighbors - want Israel.
Thanks - good show.
Once Upon a Country
there never was a Palestinian country because
they always rejected any offer made by the UN.
or Israel they want all of it.No tolerance for any other religion, or group.
So stop lamenting of something you never had.
