My letter to Time Magazine RE Unraveling the Middle East Muddle By Joe Klein

Dear Editor,

Klein in 'Unraveling the Middle East Muddle" really should have remembered and reiterated the three clear & compelling points made in the Arab Peace Initiative ... The necessity of:

1. Full Israeli withdrawal from all the territories occupied since 1967.
2. A just solution to the Palestinian refugee problem to be agreed upon in accordance with U.N. General Assembly Resolution 194.
3. The acceptance of the establishment of a sovereign independent Palestinian state on the Palestinian territories occupied since June 4, 1967 in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

A secular two state end to the Israel/Palestine conflict really is the best bet for every one's sake- with a firm shift away from forcing tax payers (here and there) to fund and empower religious bigotry, militancy and terror.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
