President Carter has been a student of the biblical Holy Land all his life. For the last three decades, as president of the United States and as founder of The Carter Center, he has studied the complex and interrelated issues of the regions conflicts and has been actively involved in reconciling them. He knows the leaders of all factions in the region who will need to play key roles, and he sees encouraging signs among them.
Carter describes the history of previous peace efforts and why they fell short. He argues persuasively that the road to a peace agreement is now open and that it has broad international and regional support. Most of all, since there will be no progress without courageous and sustained U.S. leadership, he says the time for progress is now.
This is President Carters call for action, and he lays out a practical and doable path to peace.

Praise for We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land
Its most important intended reader should take seriously Carters advice to pursue peace.
The New York Times Book Review
Balanced, deeply felt... a thoughtful and much needed addition to the discourse... eschews the partisan recriminations and historical gerrymandering that typify most discussions of the conflict... Carter offers a pragmatic solution.... If only everyone involved in this issue were as considered and optimistic as Jimmy Carter.
San Francisco Chronicle
As always, his is a voice to be listened to.
Booklist
Carter is illuminating and inspiring in this knowledgeable insiders history.

To people of faith who still trust that God, with our help, will bring peace to the Holy Land
The blood of Abraham, Gods father of the chosen, still flows in the veins of Arab, Jew, and Christian, and too much of it has been spilled in grasping for the inheritance of the revered patriarch in the Middle East. The spilled blood in the Holy Land still cries out to Godan anguished cry for peace.
The Blood of Abraham , by Jimmy Carter
You cannot like the word, but what is happening is an occupationto hold 3.5 million Palestinians under occupation. I believe that is a terrible thing for Israel and for the Palestinians.... It cant continue endlessly.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, May 2003
There should be an end of the occupation that began in 1967. The agreement must establish Palestine as a homeland for the Palestinian people, just as Israel is a homeland for the Jewish people. These negotiations must ensure that Israel has secure, recognized and defensible borders. And they must ensure that the state of Palestine is viable, contiguous, sovereign, and independent.... Swiss cheese isnt going to work when it comes to the outline of a state.
President George W. Bush, January 2008
We have to reach an agreement with the Palestinians, the meaning of which is that in practice we will withdraw from almost all the territories, if not all the territories. We will leave a percentage of these territories in our hands, but will have to give the Palestinians a similar percentage, because without that there will be no peace.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, September 2008
STORM OVER A BOOK
I am writing another book about the Middle East because the new president of the United States is facing a major opportunityand responsibilityto lead in ending conflict between Israel and its neighbors. The time is now. Peace is possible.
The normal path to resolving conflicts in this regional tinderbox should be through political leaders in Israel, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, with assistance when needed from Egypt, other Arab nations, and the international community. Yet for the past fifty years the United States has been widely recognized as the essential interlocutor that can provide guidance, encouragement, and support to those who want to find common ground. Unfortunately, most leaders in Washington have not been effective in helping the parties find peace, while making it harder for other potential mediators in Europe, the Near East, and the United Nations to intercede.
This peace effort should not be seen as a hopeless case. Five Nobel Peace Prizes have been won by leaders who negotiated successfully in 1979 and in 1993one Egyptian, three Israelis, and one Palestinian. But the unpleasant fact is that there has been no tangible progress during the past decade and a half, despite significant efforts during the last years of the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Recent highly publicized peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian leaders have broached difficult issues but ultimately failed to narrow differences. At the same time, Israel and Syria became engaged early in 2007 in indirect conversations sponsored by Turkey, a fragile Gaza cease-fire has been implemented, and there has been an exchange of prisoners and the remains of others between Israel and Hezbollah but no further plans for easing tension between Israel and Lebanon.
As will be explained in the text, one of the notable developments in the region has been the repeated proposal by all twenty-two Arab nations to have normal diplomatic and commercial relations with Israel, provided major U.N. resolutions are honored. They have also said that modifications concerning controversial key issues could be considered in good-faith negotiations. This peace offer has been accepted by all Islamic nations and lauded by top U.S. officials, and Israelis have said it is a good basis for discussion.
