Dear Editor,

I agree with Kristof that throwing stones make a non-violent protest violent. I also agree that rays of hope for less violence and more change are indeed a very good thing: I am very much impressed- awed really- by the heroic courage of Mr. Morrar’s "quite amazing "15 year old daughter, Iltezam Morrar.

Kristof's own willingness to notice and think about Palestinian protest- his willingness to speak of Palestinian dignity and the New York Times willingness to publish his reflections and musing including specifically Kristof's praise of Palestinian Iltezam Morrar are a huge sign of positive change already happening.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
