My letter to the Guardian RE Palestine's strongest weapon is peace by Ghassan Khatib

Let Us Beat Swords Into Plowshares

RE: Palestine's strongest weapon is peace, We cannot pretend occupation doesn't exist, but we can continue to build the institutions of state without violence by Ghassan Khatib

Dear Sir,

Thrilled to see "Palestine's strongest weapon is peace" by Ghassan Khatib exposing the growing movement to fully focus in on positive efforts to build a real Palestinian state.

It takes much more strength of character- and more imagination for sure, to step away from the endless complaints and cycles of violence, rage and righteous indignation generated by the Israel/Palestine conflict- but for everyone's sake firm support for a two state solution is the right thing to do: A sovereign Palestine and a sovereign peace really are worth our time and trouble... a secular and lasting peace with justice on all sides of every border will have many positive ramifications.

A Golden Rule Peace for ALL the children of the Holy Land. Let Israel be Israel and let Palestine be Palestine- each in their own way respecting international laws, basic human rights, human dignity- and human ingenuity.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
