'How To Make Peace In The Middle East In Six Months Or Less Without Leaving Your Apartment' is a humorous attempt to explore the possibilities of finding a lasting solution to the Middle East conflict.

At that point, he says, he decided to stop the yelling by acting as a "freelance diplomat" resolving the problem himself.

"I spoke to people from all over the political spectrum, from really the right wing to pretty far left wing, Jewish paramilitary extremists, former advisor to Yaser Arafat, and a former advisor to Prime Minister Netanyahu - on the same day, actually," he says. "I spoke to former Mossad officers. I spoke to lobbyists, politicians, journalists. Beside them, I also spoke to a guy who thinks he's a superhero, named 'Peaceman.' He wears a cape with a peace sign on it, and has a castle. He spends a lot of money, trying to help the Middle East conflict. He's well intentioned, just a little strange."

Levey discussed the issue with Jewish grandmothers and Palestinian shopkeepers. Levey chronicles these experiences and conversations in "How To Make Peace In The Middle East In Six Months Or Less Without Leaving Your Apartment." In the course of his research, Levey found it was possible to at least work for peace without leaving his apartment- by negotiating through the virtual reality of cyberspace, where the Middle East conflict seems to be alive and well.

"I spoke to people who claimed to have witnessed an on-line suicide bombing, which doesn't even make sense to me because there is a second life, which is a virtual life where there is now a virtual Israel and virtual Palestinians," he adds. "They've sort of taken the conflict on-line, which is a bit bizarre to me because in real life, land is limited. The conflict is about land. In the second life, land is unlimited, yet they are still fighting. So they managed to find a way to pull the conflict even there."
