Rebuke Sharon Government for Suggesting U.S. Supports Abandoning the Peace Process

Dear Brit Tzedek members and supporters,

American Jews need to speak out now. Click here to act now:
<http://ga3.org/campaign/dont_abandon_peace_process>

While Israeli government "disengagement" and withdrawal from
Gaza coule be a positive first step toward ending the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, recent statements by Prime
Minister Sharon's Senior Advisor, Dov Weisglass, one of the
initiators of the disengagement plan, indicate that it is
instead being implemented as an end to the peace process.

More disturbing, this position has been represented as coming
with the full support of the President and Congress of the
United States.

Such statements need a sharp rebuke from the U.S.
Administration. The only way true peace and security can be
achieved for Israel is through a negotiated settlement leading
to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Please write President Bush, Congress, and Jay Footlik, Senior
Advisor on Middle East and Jewish Affairs to the Kerry Campaign
to urge the Administration to make it clear to the Israeli
government that its withdrawal from Gaza dodes not mean that
Israel's abandonment of the peace process is sanctioned by the
U.S. government.

We urge you to respond to this action alert and make your voice
heard. <http://ga3.org/campaign/dont_abandon_peace_process>

Please share this action alert with family, friends, and
colleagues, and tell them about Brit Tzedek v'Shalom. For

make a concerted push to bring a peaceful negotiated settlement

the Open Letter from American Jews to the Next President and
invite you to join us in signing the Open Letter.
