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
