By contrast, the Palestinians are posing preconditions for renewing the diplomatic process in a way they have not done over the course of 16 years." "Most of the approaches to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, have been directed at trying to resolve the most complex problems, like refugees and Jerusalem, which is akin to building the pyramid from the top down." "You know, I said in the U.N., I said to President Abbas, ‘Look, we’re in the same city, we’re in the same building, for God’s sake, the U.N. Let’s just sit down and begin to talk peace.’" More In Peace "My third appeal is to my fellow citizens in all countries: Help us to establish lasting peace in the world."― Joseph Rotblat "He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees."― Benjamin Franklin "You don’t have to have fought in a war to love peace."― Geraldine Ferraro
