Ultimately our target is the U.S. population. I don't know how U.S. supporters of Palestian rights will ever turn U.S. public opinion around, other than to keep on demonstrating and writing letters, and holding forums and doing the other things we do that don't seem to have much effect. Right now we have two chances: slim and none. But if we start including unconditional praise for Hizbolla in our attemps at public education it seems to me that slim is going to leave
town.
