Dear Brothers and sisters:

If we do not do something NOW, when we will do something that can really MOVE things.
I have some suggestions, perhaps you have others, PLEASE write back and let us do something.

a) The USA is not helping Israel to have security in giving it a green light to do what ever in the Occupied Territories.
b) Violence will always breed violence
c) Palestinians and Israelis are suffering from Sharon and Bush WRONG DEALING with the situation on the ground
d) Later or sooner the Palestinians will have their RIGHTS RECOGNIZED and will have their own State. It is better to have it sooner than later, this will give security and peace for Israel: THE END OF THE OCCUPATION.

A lot of Muslim and Jewish religious Leaders will do it with us if we agree to do all or some of these a suggestions.

1) We can make a delegation of Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, Bishops, Pastors, preachers, religious brothers and sisters, congregations, groups, and go to the Holy Land and stand with the Head Churches of the Holy Land so as to help the Palestinian Muslims and Christians.

2) We can make an IMMEDIATE delegation as above to meet with President Bush and refuse to leave the While House before President Bush, put pressure on Israel to abide by the UN RESOLUTIONS and stop the killings.

3) We can also have a hunger strike in front of the While House, or a demonstration. IT IS TIME TO TELL the president that represents our US Country that we do not agree in CONSCIENCE WITH WHAT IT IS HAPPENING.

IN FACT: There is wanton indiscriminate killings. Very many people are deprived of water, electricity, food supplies and basic medical needs. Many of our religious institutions (Muslim and Christian) have been invaded and damaged.

4) We can do the Hunger strike in front of the Israeli Embassy and in front of every Israeli Consulate and UN agencies ....

5) We can go to DEHESHEH REFUGEE CAMP that the Pope visited on March 22, 2000 and promised them to help them.

We need to make form this promise a REALITY.

5) We can call for a ONE DAY or MORE NATION WIDE STRIKE and GIVE OUR  US Administration that what they are doing: IS NOT ON OUR NAME

Please Share and DO IMMEDIATELY SOMETHING.

OUR RELIGIOUS CONSCIENCE DO NOT ACCEPT INJUSTICES AND CRIMES.

The Head of Christian Churches in Jerusalem have called Israel and President BUSH and PRESENTED THEIR MEDIATION, will we help them and STAND WITH JUSTICE, PEACE AND TRUTH?

That is what precipitated the taking of hostages and that is what has precipitated some terrorist attacks" Jimmy Carter, N Y Times, 3/26/1989

efficient.” (Patriarchs, Nov. 2000).
