Judging by the opening statements, the debate looked to be a contest between Gandhis and Cassandras, with one side trumpeting the Palestinian right to self-determination, pursued under peaceful auspices, and the other invoking the ruin that would come of a unilateral settlement. Levy and Barghouthi maintained that Palestinians were oppressed by Israeli occupation, that the urgency of the situation demanded immediate action, and that nonviolent resistance?in this case, an appeal to the court of international opinion?was the most ethical solution to a stalled peace process. They also claimed to have Israel?s best interests at heart. ?If we don?t have a Palestine, we are saying kaddish, the rites of last prayer, for Israeli democracy,? Levy warned. Barghouthi echoed: ?Martin Luther King Jr. liberated the United States, not only the African-Americans, from segregation. ? We want to liberate ourselves and the Israelis as well.?
