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
