A very brief outline of what could be done to prevent another
generation
of endless
conflict, hatred, and killing.

2-STATE SOLUTION IS DEAD?
APPENDIX:

times make reference to
past writings, TV appearances, and events we were personally
involved
with. When we do these
could be footnoted and included in a substantial Appendix.

could be made available at a website designed to promote the book.
