Peter John Beyfus is an historian, published author, poet, and a person who prides himself on “thinking outside the box”. I have written many essays on Jewish themes, published in various journals, and I take a keen interest in international affairs. I believe in robustly defending Israel’s right to exist, to expose anti-Zionist propaganda and advocating the advance of peaceful co-existence between Israel and its Arab neighbours. Dialogue rather than violence is the best way to achieve peace. With the signing of the Abraham Accords we have witnessed a seismic shift toward a major change in the Arab mindset, and this gives one optimism for a brighter future in the Middle East.
