"A Bottom-up Approach to Peace" Project on Middle East Democracy
Natan Sharansky writes that the Israeli elections are affirmation of a wide dissolution with Oslo and any potential quick fixes. Sharansky believes that only a bottom-up approach which focuses on building a peaceful Palestinian society can bring forth true peace. Benyamin Netanyahu has expressed his belief that what is needed for the Palestinians is extraordinary economic development. Sharansky expresses optimism that President Obama will also see that a bottom up approach has the potential for real change, as it’s a true departure from the failed attempts at peace which have dominated for so long. For Sharansky, the elections have provided a possibility for a realistic path forward.
