riage and graduation docu-
ments and birth certificates,
because "we don't care for
Israeli birth certificates."
Soon, the Palestinians will
issue their own identifica-
tion cards. "And when any
Israeli will stop me I will
show him my Palestinian ID
card — not an Israeli ID
card."
Awad envisions a Palestin-
ian state in the West Bank
and Gaza, with Jerusalem as
an open city. Palestinians
already are working with
the Japanese to design a
train to connect the two ter-
ritories, he said.
The new Palestinian state,
unlike Israel, would be a
real democracy welcoming
Muslims, Christians and
even Jewish settlers now liv-
ing in the territories, he
said.
Two years ago Awad said
in an interview with Tikkun
magazine that all settlers
should be forced to return to
Israel. "They came and stole
the land. They are invaders.
They came as prostitutes,"
he said.
Awad said his revised opi-
nion about the settlers
) reflects the new Palestinian
attitude brought about by
the intifada.
"That's the new Palestin-
ian you are seeing. And
believe me, it's scary."
Awad, who after his expul-
sion said he might convert to
Judaism or hop on a plane so
he could be in Israel, no
longer has plans to return to
the Jewish state. Instead, he
said, he is focusing all his
energy on bringing peace to
the Middle East.
Everyone must realize
that when an Israeli or a Pa-
lestinian woman weeps over
the body of her dead child,
"It's the same crying, the
same tears.
"The time has to come
when a Palestinian has no
choice but to cry when an
Israeli child dies, and when
an Israeli has to cry when a
Palestinian child dies." 0
