UPDATES 2007
I
said to a friend: "If
all these Religious Leaders, the Human rights
organizations, the NGO's and many important people
of different back grounds, even Jews, dared to
say what you will read on the following documents
about the situation
in Palestine, Lebanon,
Iraq and the whole M.E.
And if
these same people dared to challenge the Israelis and..... their friends as
first hand witnesses on the TRUTH
that they have experienced in the land.
And if
you dare calling all of them, biased, racist
and anti-semitic,
then
dare to say that the TRUTH
is Biased, Racisit and Anti-Semtic.
We attempt below to give you
UPDATES ( DOCUMENTS) from
different sources.
Mainly you will find reactions and
statements of different Human Rights
organizations, Churches, NGOs, UN and
many others.
Thank you in advance for sharing this important
page with those on your mailing lists.
May God, Allah, Hashem, Adonia, Elohim,
the God of different names but:
ONE FOR
ALL THE ABRAHAMIC BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Pray with us for peace, work for justice and
TRUTH.
Jerusalem! What is the truth?
POPE
BENEDICT XVI & ISLAM
