One Million Voices to End the Conflict
The OneVoice Movement promotes negotiations toward a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They are presently organizing a satelite linked teleconference summit to urge leadership toward such productive negotiations called One Million Voices.
To support this summit, One Million Voices is looking for one million signatures on a petition affirming the OneVoice mandate:
To our leaders, our fellow citizens, our neighbors, and the world -
We demand in one voice that our elected representatives work to achieve the following demands:
Recognize the right of both peoples to independence, sovereignty, freedom, justice, dignity, respect, national security, personal safety, and economic viability;
Implement concrete confidence-building measures that will improve the lives of the Palestinian and Israeli people, including ensuring freedom of movement for ordinary civilians and fostering education against incitement on both sides.
Immediately commence uninterrupted negotiations until reaching an agreement, no later than October 18, 2008, for a Two-State Solution, fulfilling the consistent will of the overwhelming majority of both populations.
As of this posting, they are nearly half the way there. If you would like to add to it, the petition is here.





Zionista:
Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the Cafe community. What a wonderful way to help people demonstrate that, regardless of our often sharp differences in this area, we are a community that is committted to a just and peaceful two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
I have recommended this for the front page of the Cafe but I am advised that there is a policy of not promoting particular events on the front page. But for that policy, I'm sure many of us would agree that this contribution from you deserves to be featured prominently and brought to the attention of all of us who crave peace.
Thank you Zionista. You are a true credit to this community.
Warmest regards,
Bruce
P.S. I have signed the petition and volunteered my funds and my services; what a fabulous opportunity to help the cause of peace.
