Peace Between Israel and Palestine Through Non-Violence
Dr. El-Najjar :
Thank you for printing the letter. I certainly hope it does some good. Not only did I go to school with a number of people of Arab extraction but I have spent some years in Saudi Arabia; long enough to learn that the vast majority of Arab people are decent folk. I also spent nearly ten years in Vietnam and know the insanity of war. I also have an Israeli son-in-law who once said something quite profound. "My family has lived in Palestine for over 150 years. We never had any problems with our Arab neighbors until the outsiders (Zionists) arrived." I am convinced that if good minded Moslems and good minded Jews band together they can over come the hate and violence that is causing so much suffering.
Regards,
Charles Munroe
A virtual global peace rally on Tuesday June 22, 2004
In honor of the twenty-two innocent Iraqis killed in Fallujah by the American military firing a missle at the home of an extended family on Saturday, June 19, 2004, and in honor of the tens of thousands of other Iraqi victims of the Second Gulf War and its chaotic aftermath:
A virtual global peace rally -
22 seconds beginning at 6:22 a.m. IRAQ time
on Tuesday June 22, 2004
The place in the imagination: the Uruk ziggurat
Sincerely,
David Lawrence Cade
Paul Johnson
Sir,
I am a UK citizen who has been ardently against the US involvement in Iraq. I detest George W. Bush and have always suspected the US administration's motives for starting the second Gulf war, particularly it's ruse about WMD's.
However, the latest detestable murder of Paul Johnson - a fellow human being - by men who show no courage whatsoever hiding behind masks the way they do only serves to make me and many like me start wondering if maybe the war wasn't so wrong after all?
Al Qaida's current despicable actions only serve to alienate them from people who under other circumstances would wish to solve these issues on a more reasonable, peaceable, level. No matter what their political stance or grievance, there is no excuse for this barbaric behaviour.
Yours faithfully
John Ward York. UK.
