Author Describes Path to Peace between Israel and the Muslim World in New Book
Gottfried Hutter draws on 17 years of research to demonstrate how lasting peace can be established between Israel and Palestine in "100 Years Middle East Conflict - Honorable Peace"
MUNCHEN, Germany, August 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author and psychotherapist Gottfried Hutter has recently released his latest book, "100 Years of Middle East Conflict – Honorable Peace: How Can Lasting Peace be Secured between the Muslim World and Israel?" The book presents a deep look into potential solutions to the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and other conflicts in the Middle East.
The book emphasizes the importance of the religions involved in the conflicts and explains the power that the religious groups involved have in terms of potential for peace. Hutter draws upon concrete occurrences in history that influenced the conflict between Muslims, Jews, and Christians and provides examples of mercy and reconciliation between the groups, ultimately stating that while religion has in fact been a cause of conflict, it can also serve to contribute solutions.
Hutter's insights into the conflict come from 17 years of research as a historian and a psychotherapist after numerous meetings with scholars, leading politicians, and religious leaders of Israel, Palestine and Jordan, as well as top-level representatives of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
Hutter hopes his book will reach top political figures, as he believes they need empathy to gain the capability to enact real peace between nations. "Both sides need to take steps toward reconciliation," Hutter said. "With reconciliation in view, even the settlements could be used as contributions to peace. Empathy is the only true way to peace, and international politics could change if leaders learned to practice it."
"100 Years of Middle East Conflict – Honorable Peace" is sure to extend the potential for peacemaking in the Middle East by examining history and sharing analyses of the conflict by leaders on opposing sides. A preface by Gandhi's grandchild Arun may serve as a sign.
