GO IN PEACE WITH THE LIGHT OF UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE TO ALL PLACES OF WORSHIP TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIANS

The Palestinian people have the rights all people have, or they should. Israel has decided otherwise. Today as I write the people of Gaza are in dire straights facing starvation, the denial of medical care and the termination of their water and energy resources.

Without the support of the United States this siege of more than a million people would not be happening and without the support of American clergy and congregations this would not be happening.

We need to demand that the clergy of every religion, denomination and faith based group step up and defend the right of the Palestinian people to food, water and the basic human rights all human beings deserve. Basta Ya! End the Siege of Palestine!

We must go in peace to all persons of faith to testify for and on behalf of the Palestinians. Their lives are in the hands of America's faithful and they must know the truth. They must know the truth if they say they are Christian. They must know the truth about the Palesinians if they are Jewish. and they must know the truth whatever their religion whether it be Abrahamic or not, denomination or faith based organization.

In particular those who have fooled themselves or allowed themselves to be misled in the religious communities need to be engaged in constructive dialogue and representation. Collective punishment is always a crime, isn't it?

The collective torture, starvation, deprivation, imprisonment, brutalization and murder of more than a million people is wrong and it is wrong for our clergy and tens of millions of their parishoners to silently proceed about their endless musings of the ancient texts when our brothers and sisters are on the verge of death. Let the light shine on those murdering the Palestinians and let the people of America see the truth at last.

We all are Palestinians!
