2. Anzu
They haven’t seen such nonviolence movement directly or in the news etc.
“…What’s mostly missing for nonviolence to grow is not for Palestinians to start adopting
nonviolence, but for us to start paying attention to those who already are. ”
Actual condition
Many Palestinians try to defend their land and resources without using
violence Gap
Most of people in the world don’t know that

3. Anzu
Success of their resistance is obstructed by this gap
★What is need for success?
→Julia thinks we should pay attention to those people
Ex. Budrus case
Separation barrier will be built across the village
→people try to stop it →they don’t stop resistance for 10 months
→the government admit move line of barrier from Budrus to internationally
recognized boundary
