Palestinian HeritageTo: President Barack Obama
Sen. Arlen Specter
Sen. Robert Casey
Rep. Todd Platts
Please do all you can to help end the Israel/Palestine conflict- and the very real plight of the Palestinians.
Right now a fully secular two state solution based on FULLY respecting international law and universal basic human rights would go a long way towards bringing justice, peace and progress to the region.
Are the settlements really that important? "People don't understand the impact of these settlements and settlers. To us these are people who are there to uproot us and to take our places. It is an existential threat for us because they are some of the most hard-line Israelis in the world. They don't believe in coexistence." Maen Rashid Areikat, Palestine Liberation Organization representative to the United States http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/2010-10-14-column14_ST_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip
I think it is obvious to any who dare examine the evidence that Israel is (and has been) intentionally trying to impoverish and antagonize Palestinians- to demoralize and/or radicalize increasingly vulnerable people in order to sabotage the emergence of a sovereign Palestinian state.
Please do all you can to help end the Israel/Palestine conflict- and Israel's continuing harassment and displacement of the native non-Jewish population of the Holy Land.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
