Dear President Bush,

I support Israel, and I abhor the terrorist attacks to which it has been subjected.

I deeply believe that the Jewish State will only know true security once it reaches a peace agreement that allows Israelis and Palestinians to separate in order for two viable states to live side by side. For this reason I am very concerned that the Government of Israel is continuing to make a critical mistake by expanding existing settlements and allowing new settlements to be established (34 since the most recent Israeli election).

I urge you to convince Prime Minister Sharon to stop settlement construction consistent with the Mitchell Committee Report, and to evacuate settlements from all of Gaza and as much of the West Bank as possible. Such a withdrawal would allow Israel to solidify its lines of defense and provide real security for its people.

I also urge you to convince the leaders of the Palestinians and other Arab countries to make every effort to fight terrorism.

Finally, I urge you to press both Israel and the Palestinians to make the compromises necessary to end the violence and return to negotiations. This means praising either side when it embraces peace and criticizing either side when it shuns it. I recognize that such an effort will face enormous obstacles over a long period of time. Nonetheless, for Israel’s sake, I urge you to stay actively engaged in finding solutions - solutions that Americans Jewry, no less than the general American public, will embrace.

 

Sincerely,
