Pay attention to nonviolence: Julia Bacha on TED.com
In 2003, the Palestinian village of Budrus mounted a 10-month-long nonviolent protest to stop a barrier being built across their olive groves. Did you hear about it? Didn’t think so. Brazilian filmmaker Julia Bacha asks why we only pay attention to violence in the Israel-Palestine conflict — and not to the nonviolent leaders who may one day bring peace. (Recorded at TEDGlobal 2011, July 2011, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Duration: 10:52.)

I definitely agree! Nonviolent protest leads more to success and pursuit of real protest goals.
