Lauren Mei's Final Thoughts on Peace Summit

The Israelis and Palestinians have had a long conflict, which can be solved, but it will take time and a leader like Martin Luther King. The Israelis and Palestinians will have to be willing to cooperate, petition, learn from each other, and listen to each other. There have been small attempts that will soon make a giant mark. The government and people should be able to work together. Other countries and the UN should help create a peace treaty. The Hand in Hand Schools where Palestinian and Israeli children go to school with each other, and learn each other's languages and cultures offer a model. These are things that both of them have to do and it is an individual project that becomes a group one.

Israel should remove all checkpoints, soldiers, and borders. If there were no checkpoints, borders, and soldiers, there would be no reason to continue the bombings in Israel. If there were no bombings in Israel, there wouldn't be a reason for Israel to keep watch on Palestinians or kill any of them. Israel should be split in half, one half given to Palestinians and another given to Israelis. I don't know if the adults will resolve the conflict, but I think the children will make the impact.
