Dear Editor,
Good to hear that Many American Jews support President Obama's proposed settlement freeze !
All Americans really should be concerned about the situation in the Middle East- and what tomorrow might bring: "In the four decades after 1948, when 70,000 Palestinian Arabs were forced to flee Jaffa and not allowed to return, the once grand town became a backwater." Mark Levine http://english.aljazeera.net/focus/2009/09/20099892214748263.html
"The 1967 Palestinian exodus refers to the flight of around 280,000 to 325,000 Palestinians out of the territories occupied by Israel during and in the aftermath of the Six-Day War including the demolition of the Palestinian villages of Imwas, Yalo, and Beit Nuba, Surit, Beit Awwa, Beit Mirsem, Shuyukh, Jiftlik, Agarith and Huseirat and the "emptying" of the refugee camps of ʿAqabat Jabr and ʿEin Sulṭān." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Palestinian_exodus
The Israel/Palestine conflict can easily and quickly become much more monstrous... Already a huge amount of damage has been done, with the children of Palestine bearing the brunt of the pain. Full respect for basic human rights as well as international law will help empower serious negotiations and genuine diplomacy whereby the foundations for a just and lasting peace and progress can emerge for all the people of that very troubled region.
Dr. Hussein Ibish in his newly published book What's Wrong with the One-State Agenda? (available for sale- or free online download http://www.americantaskforce.org/in_media/pr/2009/08/28/1251432000 ) explains in compelling detail why ending the occupation and peace with Israel, while difficult to achieve and thus far elusive, really is the best way forward.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
