"Who knows what will be enough to end not only this war, but the slow-moving devastation of Palestine. No one can be sure what knock will bring down the wall, open a door. At the end of the day some of us, at least, know we have knocked (and knocked), when even hope fails inside this obdurate empire—by putting words on the page, by calling Congress, by boycotting, by demonstrating, by gathering over words; perhaps the knocking is all we have."
