SUMMARY:"Keeping the Door Open to Israeli-Palestinian Peace" 
DESCRIPTION:
 Ghaith al-Omari\n
 "Small Steps Towards a\n
 Big Goal: 
 Preserving the Two-State Solution in Times 
 of Profound Change"\n
 Ghaith al-Omari, Esq. 
 argues that the Two-State Solution remains the 
 only option for resolving the Palestinian-Israeli 
 conflict in a way that meets both people's 
 national aspirations. The talk will examine 
 ways to preserve the future viability of 
 a two-state solution.\n

 "Top-Down, Bottom-Up, Inside-Out, Outside-In: 
 Which Way to Israeli-Palestinian peace?"\n
 The 
 old formula for trying to achieve peace between 
 Israel and the Palestinians has not worked, 
 and consideration is now being given to new, 
 single-focus paradigms. There is a need for 
 a comprehensive, multi-layered approach, driven 
 by determined leaders.\n

 "Bridge 
 or Bypass Road? How Do Peace Moves 
 between Arab States and Israel Challenge the 
 Way We Think about the Palestinian Issue?"\n
 The Arab Peace Initiative of 2003 was predicated 
 on the view that the best way to provide 
 leverage to the Palestinians was to forestall 
 Arab-Israel peacemaking until after Palestinian 
 demands had been met. Yet, the shifting sands 
 in the Middle East where countries are concerned 
 about destabilization have caused a 
 rethink of the classic paradigm. Can the Emirati-Israeli 
 diplomatic breakthrough change the 
 approach and lead to better results in the 
 Israeli-Palestinian arena?\n
 \n
 Dr. Saliba Sarsar\n
 "Finding 
 Common Ground to Move Toward Peace"\n
 Israelis 
 and Palestinians have no choice 
 but to keep the door open to peace. The path 
 - our path - will remain challenged and challenging 
 unless we overcome our fear of the other, 
 our fear of the unknown that seems to dominate 
 the best of us. Our obsession with power, 
 resources, and retaliation has taken hold 
 of our soul and twisted our being. Peace is 
 born by preparing for it. The responsibility 
 and credit for peace rest with all of us.\n
