As you know by now, 'non-violent'
struggle is not about sitting around in circles singing Kumbaya. Quite the
contrary, it's a highly strategic enterprise that usually entails significant
risks to personal safety for those who take part. Zunes gives several examples
of non-violent struggle in the MENA region while Dajani discusses the
effectiveness of non-violent resistance in the first Palestinian Intifada. As
we know twenty-five years later, the Intifada didn't lead to a resolution of
the conflict. What did it achieve, if anything? What impact did it have on both
the Palestinian and Israeli societies?
