Dear Sir,

I totally agree that peace is important, and that the contours vis-a-vis Jerusalem, borders and refugees are already crystal clear- but the Economist is wrong to assert that Palestinian refugees can not return to their old homes. They can and will. Negotiations need to be about how best to implement and respect international law and all relevant UN Resolutions.
No peace agreement will hold, much less be taken seriously, if it tries to erase or dismiss or ridicule basic human rights.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
