SIGN THE PETITION TO PRESERVE DIALOGUE

This September, the United Nations General Assembly may hold a vote on whether or not to endorse a unilaterally declared Palestinian state. While we support the State of Israel in its position that the negotiations need to lead to "two states for two people", we believe that unilateral moves such as this are contrary to the letter as well as the spirit of Peace negotiations. Peace comes through bi-lateral negotiations and by talking to each other. The Israel Action Network, a National coalition, is leading the effort to oppose the Palestinian move at the UN. We have co-sponsored an online petition with them. You can add your voice. Click in the link bellow to read and sign the petition:
