Middle East: The Michael Moore suggestion


Here's a part from M. Moore's book: "Stupid White Men" (2001) concerning the Israel-Palestine conflict:

"My proposal is not a new idea. It involves no armies, no money, and no UN resolutions. It's dirt cheap. It has been tried many times, in many countries -AND IT HAS NEVER FAILED....
...It's called mass nonviolent civil disobedience....

1. You just lay your bodies down -often just a few thousand in the middle of the road will do- and don't move and don't fight back when they try to drag you away.

2. Call a general strike. Refuse to work for the Israelis....

...then you must lay down all arms, lay down your bodies in the middle of the road and then... just wait. Yes, the Israelis will beat many of your people... Trust me, when the pictures of your suffering at the hands of these brutes go out across the world, there will be suck an outcry that the Israeli government will be unable to continue its oppression."
