PhD, Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University
M.A, Conflict Transformation & Peacebuilding, Eastern Mennonite University
Michael Shank: In King Abdullah’s speech recently for the United States Senate and House of Representatives, Jordan’s leader claimed that “the wellspring of regional division, the source of resentment and frustration far beyond, is the denial of justice and peace in Palestine.” What did he mean by the “denial of justice” and how did/will US Congress respond to Abdullah’s statement? Congresswoman Capps: I think he was referring to the Palestinian situation in general and in dealing with occupation over the last 40 years. Unfortunately, I did not sense much of a response from the majority of my colleagues.
