Many Mideast observers and each of the speakers that CJME has hosted over the past two years say the cause of the conflict is the occupation. The way to end the conflict is Ending the occupation through a negotiated resolution based upon international law and respect for human rights. The US government could play an important role by adopting a balanced policy that enables security and self-determination for both Israelis and Palestinians. Despite the bleak outlook for peace in the Mideast there are many Palestinians and Israelis working towards a just resolution. We can support their efforts only with your active involvement.
