Dear Editor,
Fostering peace talks and a better way forward for the people of Israel and the people of Palestine is not easy- but it is the right thing to do... for everyone's sake. There is, as ATFP's Dr. Hussein Ibish (on his most recent Ibishblog post) so adeptly phrases it "a small mountain of Security Council resolutions and other international instruments of legality" for Palestine.
There is also The Arab Peace Initiative "Reaffirming the resolution taken in June 1996 at the Cairo Extra-Ordinary Arab Summit that a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East is the strategic option of the Arab countries, to be achieved in accordance with international legality, and which would require a comparable commitment on the part of the Israeli government"
And there is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from 1948 clearly pointing out that "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."
Palestine and peace need our support- and all our best efforts to help make sure that a Golden Rule Peace might have a chance to take hold in the Holy Land... a Golden Rule Peace where people are empowered to be good neighbors and law abiding citizens, regardless of supposed race, religion or nationality.
Sincerely,
