Peace in Palestine - Obama to Israel March 2013
Peace must come in many places in the world. Indeed, our hope is for peace in all the world. Rev. Stephen Sizer , who advocates for issues of peace in Israel & Palestine has shared this letter from a prominent Christian in Palestine - calling for U.S. President Barack Obama to help reshape peace in Palestine. President Obama will be visiting Israel and Palestine in March 2013. I call on you to write to Obama and tell him that if he is coming to engage Israelis and Palestinians in talks that will lead to a just peace, he is then welcome. Otherwise tell Obama to stay home. Tell Obama that the world will be watching his upcoming visit and people all over our planet will look to his visit with hope and expectation. Tell him not to disappoint humanity by carrying on U.S. politics in the Middle East as usual. Tell Obama when he visits us here to stand by the values that he reiterates in almost every speech: freedom, independence, equality, and justice for all.
