It is essential to have a Palestinian-led movement that's centrist/moderate. I believe these values are central to Islam and are exemplified in the Quran. "So, we have made you believers an upright community. And thus we have made you a temperate/middle-ground nation.” Peacemakers amid conflict are the courageous and essential leaders of our community.
