If I were a Palestinian leader seeking to secure rights for the people of Palestine I would encourage my brethren to put down their weapons and to take their case to the international court of world opinion and to the Beit Din. I would also erect signs all along the border and would distribute t-shirts to everyone in Palestine with the following words in Hebrew:
ט. וְגֵר לֹא תִלְחָץ וְאַתֶּם יְדַעְתֶּם אֶת נֶפֶשׁ הַגֵּר כִּי גֵרִים הֱיִיתֶם בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם
which is taken from Shemot 23:9 (Exodus 23:9 in the Torah) and means:
“And you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know the soul of the stranger, since you were strangers in the land of Egypt.”
