Breaking the Cycle the Zero-Violence Conflict-Free Model for Peace in Israel and Palestine

Breaking The Cycle, inspired by the images of war--of dying Israelis and Palestinians--that were broadcast over major networks. The ugly faces of war are nondiscriminatory-not by side, not by gender, not by occupation, and not by age. War consumes established communities-all lives, flora, and fauna on its path. "Let's have Peace" - Ulysses S Grant, May 29, 1868

The Israel-Palestine conflict is multifaceted with deep roots in the past. Several attempts at reconciliation have failed because the complexity of the conflict has been oversimplified, leading to an incomplete solution, and lacking a deliberate plan and investments to sustain the peace. "Breaking the Cycle" offers a roadmap towards a peaceful future for Israel and Palestine.

This book proposes a fresh approach to the resolution of this conflict. It extends the Zero-Violence Conflict-Free Model to resolve one of the most challenging conflicts known to man. The model is designed to create peace in an already tense environment and involves known concepts. The novelty is in the comprehensive approach and method of application.
The Zero-Violence Conflict-Free Model is an integrated approach where all stakeholders' roles are clear; from understanding the causes through negotiation to maintaining the peace. Applying the model to the Israel and Palestine conflict is long overdue. scholars, experts, governments, international bodies for peace and non-governmental organizations, and especially the citizens of the conflict zones are encouraged to rise and work for peace between Israel and Palestine.
