Pope Benedict XVI's address at the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem

Parents have a most important role here, and to all the families present in this camp I say: be sure to support your children in their studies and to nurture their gifts, so that there will be no shortage of well-qualified personnel to occupy leadership positions in the Palestinian community in the future. The support of the international community is vital, and hence I make a renewed appeal to all con- cerned to bring their influence to bear in favor of a just and lasting solution, respect- ing the legitimate demands of all parties and recognizing their right to Uve in peace and dignity, in accordance with interna- tional law.
