"When Hamas launched a deadly attack on a concert of innocent civilians on October 7, 2023, I was shocked by its brutality and the loss of life. What if a member of my family had been at the concert or visiting with friends that day? The pain felt by families who lost a son or daughter, a brother or sister, was very tangible to me. But the day also reminded me how many leaders have vainly sought a solution that would bring peace to the region so that Jews and Arabs and others could pursue productive lives free from fear for their lives, families, or homes. ...The principal vehicle has been a "two-state" one. Yet a deal based on it has not happened. Perhaps the time has arrived to consider other potential paths. Although usually rejected, I found myself considering what the prospects might be if Palestinians were to move to a more welcoming destination. Today's world is vastly different from the one of a generation ago. ...Is such an option one that might be relevant as the world community seeks a way forward for the Israeli-Hamas conflict? I decided to investigate the history and ramifications of a carefully planned and executed relocation program and how it might benefit a host nation, the Palestinians, Israelis, and the world community. This book is a result of that quest." -Dr. Dana Ulloth (from the Preface)
