I was also surprised at the sheer number of nonviolence movements, whether spearheaded by Muslims or Christians, in Hebron alone. What's really interesting is to hear the perspective of Palestinian Christians vs American Christians on this topic.
This is the part of your story that provides perspective that I have not seen elsewhere.
If there really is a concentrated movement for peaceful, nonviolent demonstrations:
1) They need to get more organized;
2) They need to get their message out better to the rest of the world;
3) They need to mobilize the number of people that publicly condemn the violence.
Right now, the image of the average Palestinian is one that quietly approves of the violence. If that is not fact, it needs to be heard.
I am suspect about that, though.
