Hi Friend,
Six weeks ago, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and committed the most heinous pogrom against Jewish people since the Holocaust. Over 1,200 innocent Israelis were slaughtered. Children killed in front of their parents, parents in front of their children, and horrors beyond anyone’s imagination.
While Israel has both the right and responsibility to defend itself and its Jewish, Muslim, and Christian citizens against such terror - the effort to eliminate Hamas in Gaza has resulted in the loss of over 10,000 innocent Palestinian lives. Much of this painful impact has devastated their families, and primarily women and children. The shortage of essential resources, including food, water, and electricity, only adds to the growing humanitarian crisis that will likely result in more violence and make a lasting peace very difficult to achieve.
After seventy-five years of almost non-stop conflict in the Middle East, the status quo is unacceptable and must be disrupted.
The actions, inactions, and failures of individuals in power for decades have failed to bring resolution to the bloodshed in the region. It’s time for a new generation of leadership - from the West Bank to the West Wing - and a fierce commitment to peace to replace yesterday’s reliance on war.
To start the path to peace, I urgently propose the following actions:
1.
All
200+
people
being
held
hostage
by
Hamas
terrorists,
including
nine
American
citizens,
must
be
immediately
released.
2.
Upon
the
safe
release
of
hostages,
an
immediate
and
mutual
ceasefire
of
large-scale
military
operations
and
indiscriminate
terror
must
be
initiated
and
upheld
by
both
parties.
3.
A
multinational
peacekeeping
force
must
be
deployed
to
Gaza,
to
include
trusted,
regional
nations
best
positioned
to
maintain
security
and
support
humanitarian
and
reconstruction
efforts.
4.
Concurrently,
a
multi-national
coalition,
including
the
United
States,
must
unite
to
eliminate
the
Hamas
militant
terror
organization
and
begin
immediate
investments
in
a
democratic
civil
society
in
Gaza
and
the
West
Bank
to
empower
a
new
generation
of
Palestinian
leaders
committed
to
peace,
prosperity,
and
the
development
of
a
new
Palestinian
nation.
5.
And
finally,
Israelis
must
call
for
elections
and
demand
from
their
government
a
commitment
to
a
future
of
mutual
security,
peace,
and
prosperity
for
both
peoples.
The failures of the past must be replaced by solutions for the future. We must take courageous steps towards peace with spirited, energized, and peace-loving new leaders. The Israeli and Palestinian people each deserve self-determination, dignity, security, and prosperity. There is no time to waste, and that path to a brighter future must begin now.
Onward to Peace,
