Okay, right off the bat, the title of this book is going to enrage some BuzzFlash readers and please others.

That's because our readership is split right down the middle when it comes to issues concerning Israel and Palestine.

BuzzFlash's policy, as we have editorialized, is that we support security for the State of Israel and a Palestinian State.

How to get there without all the bloodshed has always been the stumbling block.

Jimmy Carter is an odd candidate to cause such a controversy with a book on achieving peace between Israel and the Palestinians. After all, he won a Nobel Prize for his efforts to accomplish just such a goal.

We haven't read the whole book, so we will let our readers make up their mind on Carter's analysis and recommendations.

Carter fully supports the right of Israel to exist, but he equally denounces the Israeli treatment of Palestinians. That explains the title of the book.

A Noble Prize winner for his work to achieve peace in the Middle East deserves to be heard.

You make up your own mind as to whether or not you agree with him. But he has earned the right to merit our attention and respect, whether or not one agrees with everything he has to say.
