a third state solution

The conflict between Palestine and Israel remains a thorn in global politics. If an international body could remove the West Bank and Jerusalem from the control of these partisan parties, then perhaps we could make some progress toward greater world peace.

Considering that Jerusalem is considered the home of three world religions, it seems only logical that this region should be considered and administered as a world cultural site and should be under the jurisdiction of a global democratic body dedicated to preserving the heritage and peaceful conduct of all that transpires within.

Rashad Khalidi recently authored Brokers of Deceit and has been on a publicity tour which is nice because there are now numerous videos available for our viewing. Several publications have run articles and interviewed the man such as the Atlantic. I highly recommend reading the six questions article in Harpers. Of special interest to me is his opinion on the status of democratic effort throughout the middle east.

Could a new global democratic effort help our brothers and sisters in the Arab lands?
