Archaeologists' agreement a stride toward Mideast peace

Over the past five years, UCLA archaeologist Ran Boytner and USC archaeologist Lynn Dodd have served as facilitators for a team of prominent Israeli and Palestinian archaeologists who have negotiated the first-ever framework for the disposition of the region's archaeological treasures following the future establishment of a Palestinian state. The team's recommendations, which can be implemented in the context of a two-state peace solution, were presented to Israeli archaeologists at an April 8 conference in Jerusalem.

The project was funded in part by a grant from the United States Institute of Peace (USIP).

With the exception of the influx of European Jews...which should still show a direct link to their Palestian/Jewish ancestry...they are the same people. AGAIN.....the children of Abraham...regardless if they are Jewish, Christian or Palestians are directly related. Fight rascism especially when it comes from upper levels of education....which in my opinon is another ploy to divide instead of unite.

Another propaganda video. Why can't people refer to Palestinians and Israeli's as one people. Their heritage and culture are shared.  Many if not all Palestinian have jewish ancetry. All simetic people share a genetic direct link.
