Read this quote from Haidar Abd El-Shafi, then answer the question: "We, the people of Palestine, stand before you in the fullness of our pain, our pride, and our anticipation, for we long harbored a yearning for peace and a dream of justice and freedom. For too long, the Palestinian people have gone unheeded, silenced and denied, our identity negated by political expedience, our right for struggle against injustice maligned, and our present existence subsumed by the past tragedy of another people."-Haidar Abd El-Shafi, head of the Palestinian Delegation to the Madrid Peace Conference, 1991
