Make Israel-Palestine the 51st state of America? “Outrageous!” “Preposterous!” “It’ll never happen!”
Whilst these would represent typical initial reactions to such a suggestion, and to some degree resemble my own thoughts upon first hearing this proposal, my respect for the political and life experience of the author led me to at least consider what was really being suggested, and why.
Alfred de Grazia, a political scientist with a wealth of experience gained over a lifetime of “hands-on” political analysis, commentary and action, offers a radical yet comprehensive solution to the problems which have plagued “The Holy Land” for over 60 years. No matter what your political, religious or cultural background, if you have ever just wished that a workable peace could be rendered amid the rubble, blood and sorrow that is the modern-day Israel-Palestine, this book is for you.
Pleasantly lacking in bias, de Grazia tackles the most difficult of issues without prejudice or favor. Not afraid to say what needs to be said, he has carefully considered the roles played by the three main participants in the conflict. Whether Israeli, Palestinian or American, no punches are pulled when discussing how it is that we arrived at such a seemingly unworkable situation as exists today.
Not one to offer criticism without also suggesting a solution, de Grazia goes on to frame a plan to admit Canaan as the 51st state of America, offering all citizens of the new state the protection of the Constitution and laws of the US. In this book is a complete, step by step set of instructions to bring about a lasting and workable peaceful end to the suffering of millions, whilst at the same time serving as a catalyst to mending America’s damaged international reputation.
Agenda-driven detractors could quote pieces of this ground-breaking work of political brilliance out of context in an effort to discredit the author or his plan, but when the work is considered in its entirety there is no denying that it offers both the boldest and the best solution to the problem it seeks to address.
If you are someone who abhors suffering and heartache, if you believe the well-being of humankind trumps religious and political agendas, if you would rather take action than take sides, do yourself a favor and read this book, then pass it on to friends, and send copies to people in power and help spread the word.
