Excellent letter by Janet Baker in the Kansas City Star: Middle East peace solution

Middle East peace solution

According to a Nov. 15 letter, all that is needed to close the Middle East peace deal is for the Palestinians to recognize “tiny Israel as the one and only Jewish state.”

What do I know? I thought the negotiations included permanently stopping settlement building on the West Bank, the right of return or compensation for Palestinian refugees, sharing Jerusalem holy sites, going back to the 1967 borders and Israel ceasing to occupy a land that Palestinians have lived on for hundreds of years.

As for the terrorism mentioned, which side is completely innocent? I’m in favor of a viable, just two-state solution.

Oh, did I mention it would be nice if Israel quit destroying Palestinian homes, took down the wall, and did away with the checkpoints, too?
