My letter to the New York Times RE Call White House, Ask for Barack By Thomas L. Friedman

Dear Editor,

Thomas Friedman errs in asking America to scorn negotiation efforts centered on creating a just and lasting peace between and for Israel and Palestine.

Abandoning Palestine now will only make matters much much worse: Extremists, hate mongers, bigots, terrorists, lunatics, and idiots worldwide thrive on the continuation of the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Hussein Ibish of the American Task Force on Palestine wisely points out "Continued occupation means war, conflict and ever-escalating violence, hatred and bloodshed. It is a literally untenable, unmanageable situation." http://www.ibishblog.com/blog/hibish/2009/1106/ibish_what_palestinian_state_are_you_talking_about_anyway


Now more then ever we need to be seriously focused in on empowering compassion, decency, dignity and diplomacy.


Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
