Highlights of the speech
Jerusalem Summit-2004:
Like any other people? |
|
A recent opinion poll, conducted to gauge the mood among the Palestinian public was presented during a press conference at the 2004 "Jerusalem Summit" Conference. Had the findings of the survey referred to any group of people other than the Palestinians, no-one would have considered them in anyway remarkable. In the poll, the Palestinians expressed a significant level of dissatisfaction with regard to their quality of life, the functioning of their leadership and the chances of any improvement in their situation in the foreseeable future.

Jerusalem Summit-2004:
The Palestinian Predicament: Changing the Paradigm Reframing the Problem in a Humanitarian Terms Rather than in Political Ones |

The time has come to re–define the notional context in which the plight of the Palestinians is perceived. Indeed, whether the resolution of the Palestinian problem is impossibly difficult or trivially simple is almost entirely a matter of the terms in which it is defined.
In principle there are two major ways of approaching the Palestinian issue. On the one hand, it can be addressed in political terms; on the other, in humanitarian ones — i.e. either as the problem of Palestine, or as the problem of Palestinians. If the former approach is adopted, no solution is possible, if the latter is adopted, solutions are eminently feasible.
