Working for Peace and Justice for Palestinians

We need to cut back in our military defense of Israel, so that Israel will begin to negotiate peace with the Palestinians. The American people need to send a message to our Congress, Senate, our President Obama, and the Pentagon, that we want some changes in our foreign policy in the Middle East. Our new Secretary of Defense, Charles Hagel needs to hear from the American people and this petition would be a good sign as to how many Americans want to see some changes being made. Zionism in Israel and Christian Zionism that creates settlements on Palestinian land is unhealthy and only leads to war and alienation of the human rights of the Palestinian people.

Why is this important?

We should be concerned because our tax dollars go to support Zionism in Israel, that is unjust, that breaks international laws and human rights in the area. I have been on a Mission Travel Study to Israel and Palestine in 2008 and I feel like I have I have heard a different story about what is going on between Palestine and Israel. We need to bring a petition that goes out to the American people and than give that petition to our new Secretary of Defense, Charles Hagel.
