An overview of Israel-Lebanon war and who are Hezbollah really?

Barry Klein

I suggest you investigate the potential of Direct Democracy … the reform tool that lets the grassroots shape policy debates… EVEN FOREIGN POLICY. Professor John Matsusaka (Univ. of Southern California) is the expert.

Matsusaka’s book explains the reform mechanism…
“Let The People Rule” .

This book by historian Henry Maar details a peace movement success story using direct democracy: “FREEZE! The Grassroots Movement to Halt the Arms Race and End the Cold War” https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501760884/freeze/#bookTabs=1

I have years of experience with DD. Feel free to ask for details. For instance, this non-binding Question can be placed on local ballots:

“Should the United States prioritize use of diplomacy to resolve international differences, negotiate elimination of nuclear weapons, and encourage Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, to initiate peace talks?“ YES_______NO_______
