RE: Jackson Diehl's For Israel, a tough call on attacking Iranhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/for-israel-a-tough-call-on-attacking-iran/2011/11/10/gIQAmHCBJN_story.html
Dear Editor,
If Israel was truly concerned with keeping Jewish people safe from Iran's nuclear bombs it would welcome home the Palestinian refugees, as well as do all it can to help a viable, sovereign and secure Palestinian state emerge for those Palestinians who would rather not be Israeli.
Ending the Israel-Palestine conflict ASAP by fully respecting universal basic human rights and international law would go a long way towards calming down the entire region, and inspiring people here there & everywhere to invest in peace and justice rather than religious bigotry and bombs.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

What's God got to do with it? If you want freedom and security, you need the following...
"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world."Eleanor Roosevelt
