Two Stars for Peace: The Case for Using U.S. Statehood to Achieve Lasting Peace in the Middle East

by Martine Rothblatt

Every conceivable objection to merging Israel and Palestine into the United States is identified and debunked using clear logic, historical precedent, and current statistics. This bold new strategy is also shown to be essential to removing the kindling wood of terrorism from Middle East politics.This book is the natural successor to The Jewish State, Theodore Herzl's hundred-year old booklet that created Zionism. Two Stars for Peace persuasively demonstrates that "two-state" solutions, such as the current Middle East Roadmap, are doomed to failure, as is unbridled Zionism. However, there is a "two-star" solution that is consistent with the true spirit of Zionism, as well as with complete satisfaction of Palestinian aspirations. America is asked to rise to one of its greatest challenges by welcoming Two Stars for Peace.
