Welcome to the "Let's Talk" Campaign!
"Dialogue is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength."
-Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA), after returning from Syria.
Since the launch of Brit Tzedek v’Shalom’s "Let’s Talk" campaign, thousands of American Jews have called on the US Administration to make Arab-Israeli peacemaking a priority. And diplomatic progress has been made:
- Secretary Rice has re-engaged in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, beginning the kind of shuttle diplomacy long absent from the Bush Administration.
- The Arab League unanimously endorsed the Saudi peace plan, offering Israel normal relations for a return to the ’67 borders.
- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and a bi-partisan delegation of Representatives, traveled to Syria to discuss Israeli-Syrian peace.
We cannot let these opportunities fall by the wayside. Demand continued US diplomatic engagement to bring Israel together with all parties willing to discuss peace: the Palestinians, Syrians, Lebanese, and the Arab League...
SIGN THE PETITION and make sure the US administration knows there is continued support for diplomacy in the American Jewish community.
SPREAD THE MESSAGE and educate and mobilize in your community to build further support for the campaign and change the conversation amongst American Jews on how to resolve the I-P conflict.
