EXCLUSIVE ON AL-BUSHRA
Voices of TRUTH
We are trying to give you UPDATES from different sources
and specially things coming from the Holy Land. Mainly you will find
reactions and statementsof different Human Rights organizations, Churches,
NGOs, UN and many others from all over the world.
They want to be the voice of the TRUTH, telling
what they think about what is happening in the Holy Land.
This their VOICE is more accurate
than the NEWSPAPERS,
Radios and TVs as they speak about things that they saw, lived or experienced on the ground
of the Holy Land or heard from their offices there in the Holy Land as
first hand.
Please feel free to use
it, send it to your lists and please give it to your pastor, priest, organizations,
committee for justice and peace studies and committement: HELP US TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC OPINION ABOUT THE TRUTH.
