Reply #22: She herself is not opposed to the roadmap, or any other peace [View All]

plan, but she has denounced as hypocritical such things as Israel
continuing to build the dividing wall even as negotiations are
officially continuing, dismantling some small settlements, only to
put up others in their place, etc. But some hardline right-wingers, have seized on this as an excuse to say that she is opposed to peace.
That is what I've read in letters and articles printed in the Sydney
Morning Herald, and if that's the best reason they can come up with
for not awarding her the Peace Prize, I think they're scraping the
bottom of the barrel.

Here is a link to the transcipt of a television interview with
Hanan Ashrawi by "Foreign Correspondent", which explains where she
really stands:
