US foreign policy in the 21st century is a story of repeated failures to understand the world, responding instead with fear, reaction, expedience, and cruelty. The results have been tragedy and disaster. I'm happy to join my coauthors in imagining better. https://t.co/orivvbdyHv

"In previous attempts at Israeli-Palestinian peace, the US did not act as an unbiased mediator – instead heavily weighting the outcome in Israel’s favor time & time again. We now have irrefutable proof that this dynamic only destroyed possibility of peace" https://t.co/0iRhisnTvG

Future negotiations can achieve more durable peace by being more democratic in participation form and outcome, with accountability baked in from the start and the US's hands no longer heavily tilting the scale. https://t.co/0iRhisnTvG https://t.co/Ox0mtnxCuB

Two years into the extermination of Gaza, and 32 years after the Oslo Accords, it's crucial to understand failures of Oslo as baked in from the start. Durable peace demands future efforts be far more democratic, argues Dana El Kurd at @CIPolicyJournal https://t.co/0iRhisnTvG
