The Middle East as a whole must become a zone free of weapons of mass destruction. A system of inspections and transparencies is needed to remove offensive capacities from the militaries of the Middle East. Multilateral discussions on these topics must proceed as part of the overall peace process. A system of collective security is needed, with international guarantees and United Nations presence, to insure the defensive security of all states, peoples, autonomies, and communities. The teachings, traditions, laws, and commands impelling toward peace need to be amplified, repeated, taught to the children, broadcast through the grapevine, the media, the Internet, so no one will not have heard.
International law is ultimately the governing law in the Middle East, as everywhere in the world.
The ultimate judicial authorities are the World Court and the International Criminal Court. Some process of recognition, apology, confession, remorse, reeducation, and amnesty is needed to provide a moral equivalent of revenge and an acceptable way to settle blood feuds. All religious authorities in the area should be invited to a symposium to discuss and formulate religious rituals necessary to cleanse the land of blood, to redeem the blood of the Palestinians, to redeem the blood of the Jews, to redeem the blood of the brother that cries out from the land. In peace there is no superior religion. There is a mutual longing for union with God, Allah, the Great Spirit, the Larger Soul, the Unnamable, the Beloved.
