"Frustration is the cause of armed resistance"
PAUL FINDLEY former U.S. congressman

Frustration, desperation, and suffering have forced the Palestinians to opt for military resistance, according to Paul Findley, a former U.S. Senator and well-known author and lecturer.

"If you have not suffered like the Palestinians, you will never understand how that suffering led to desperation which by itself let to killing,"  Findley responded to a question put to him by a U.S. expatriate living in Dubai on why Arab leaders and people support the Palestinian Intifada and standby "suicide bombers".  He was speaking at the Metropolitan Hotel Dubai last Sunday.

"I do not defend suicide bombers, but I understand why they behave like that," Findley added, to the applause of the selected audience of intellectuals and media people from all over the world.

Paul Findley was a prominent congressman between 1961 and 1983.  His trip to Yemen to plead for the release of an imprisoned U.S. citizen started him on an unexpected journey through the world of Islam that continued for 25 years and inspired his 2 books: They Dare To Speak out and Silent No More.

    He has won six awards including the 2000 Malcolm X award by the American Muslim alliance and the Islamic community award by the Council of the American - Islamic relations.
