Palestinian/Israeli Peace Center to be bulldozed again

My Parents attended a meeting last night and met the people responsible for this and sent me a link to this website. They said "Their story left us shaking our heads and wondering how many other things are going on that we don't know about. Please check out his site, and if you can, contact your representitive. They have turned this house into a Peace Center and it is scheduled to be bulldozed again in less than three days."

Here is the link:

1. We all need to contact our representatives, and demand they stop

support for Israel, now! It is morally and ethically wrong to continue to support Israel and it's current government, as long as Sharon/Likud control it.

In doing so, our reps are also helping to support PNAC's plans for war, and Bush's "re-election". Why would they want to do that? Blind support for Israel is damaging OUR nation now, and it must stop. The Dems who continue to support them, are supporting the opposition.

2. They must support it, or they will lose their jobs, or worse

After all, they are with PNAC, or they are with the terrorists

3. Thanks for the link, this was news to me.

An initiative like this reminds me not to lapse into the error of thinking of Israelis and Palestinians as "mortal enemies." That's a lie that only empowers those who have a stake in perpetuating the violence.

4. might as well bulldoze the peace center

Israel already murdered the peace activist Rachel Corrie and got away with it.

Someone remind me why we're sending Israel billions of taxpayer money every year? To murder our own? To make sure there will never be peace? To enforce Israel's racist oppression? To help the theft of land and ethnic cleansing of native inhabitants?

U.S. policy towards Israel is DISGUSTING
