Talking to people who disagree with me

00:00:00.169 --> 00:00:04.388
Dialogue is the secure
place for argument.

2
00:00:04.483 --> 00:00:07.138
When people feel secure to argue,

3
00:00:07.163 --> 00:00:10.455
they will definitely feel
secure to agree.

4
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:14.428
And that's why I speak to
settlers in this piece of land

5
00:00:14.453 --> 00:00:17.164
that belonged to my family
when I created

6
00:00:17.189 --> 00:00:21.573
the Palestinian Nonviolence Center "Dignity",
"Karama" in Arabic.

7
00:00:21.653 --> 00:00:24.542
It's to talk to the people
who disagree with me.

8
00:00:24.567 --> 00:00:26.253
Because you don't make
peace with friends.

9
00:00:26.278 --> 00:00:27.888
You make peace with enemies.

10
00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:32.377
So if you want this dialogue
to be effective,

11
00:00:32.557 --> 00:00:35.078
you need the people
who disagree with you

12
00:00:35.103 --> 00:00:39.326
to talk to you
and to be able to see you,

13
00:00:39.351 --> 00:00:40.933
because they practice

14
00:00:40.958 --> 00:00:45.804
to live their own truth
by denying you.

15
00:00:46.895 --> 00:00:51.711
And in a way, after
a process of dialogue,

16
00:00:51.736 --> 00:00:58.949
suddenly, they discover they
were blind to your truth.

17
00:00:59.825 --> 00:01:00.923
And this is peace,

18
00:01:00.948 --> 00:01:05.070
peace is when two truths can
fit together with dignity and

19
00:01:05.095 --> 00:01:06.301
for both sides.

20
00:01:06.984 --> 00:01:07.841
That's peace.

21
00:01:07.866 --> 00:01:10.976
Peace for me is dignity,
living in dignity.
