God bless you too, Father Labib Kobti.  I agree with you that public opinion is the appropriate target and we need some innovative ways to get the truth across.  The ambulances sounds like a fine idea.  I wish I could tell you right now how I could help, but I would be putting the cart before horse.  I just want to point out for the moment a picture I saw on the "in focus" photo essay at Addameer.org's website (you know, the September 2000 Clashes Information Center).  The photo is of a young boy with a slingshot -- a powerful image for Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike.  It would be something to see that on the ambulences!  Also, that website's newsline "Latest Developments" is consistently very hard hitting and intelligible to Americans, I think.  It does not say "martyrs" or "victims" so much as just list very starkly who is killed:  name, age, how killed or injured, which areas are shelled by what kind of artillery, what the settlers are doing where, which area's olive groves are being bulldozed, etc.  There is something very barebones and sobering about their presentation that seems to me broadly accessible.  I've been wondering how better to publicize that particular site.  I would like to see something like "www.addameer.org for daily updates" on the side of the ambulances, perhaps.  (Just a suggestion.)  I am also looking for ways to get through to Christians in the United States -- including those whose "denominations" do not at their leadership level necessarilly sympathize with the Palestinians.  I find the laity generally to be far more open to a serious reconsideration of American foreign policy as a whole.  With the end of the Cold War, that is a subject very much up for public discussion across the whole political, religious, cultural spectrum here in the US.

I have seen al-Bushra's site (also excellent), and I know the Palestinian Christians have a critical role to play in clarifying to the millions for whom the Holy Land means something just what is going on there and how justice may be better served.

God bless,
