bereaved families of fallen soldiers and victims of terrorist acts
supporting peace tolerance and democracy
TO ALL PEACE SEEKERS WHEREVER THEY ARE
A moment before darkness falls upon us and covers the rays of hope, and with
the desperate feeling that a tragedy is about to happen, we, bereaved
parents members of Families Forum, cry out in despair to the two nations and
their leaders:
Return immediately and unconditionally to the negotiating table before it is
too late.
This cry, and the terrible and incurable pain that stems from the torn
hearts of bereaved families, comes from the insight of the full meaning of
war and the clear understanding no other solution will lead to peace except
negotiations.
Beginning Sunday 3rd December, a Hunger Strike Peace Tent will be set up at
Rabin Square in Tel-Aviv where a symbolic chain-fasting by bereaved families
will take place. Its purpose is to cry out for peace, to call for an
historic reconciliation and return to sanity before a catastrophe takes
place. We call on all seekers of peace, whose voice has been silent
recently, to join us and show the people and the world the extent of their
support in the peace process. We call on all seekers of peace to exert
massive pressure on leaders of both nations to walk down the path of peace.
This is the decisive moment between light and darkness, between hope and
despair, between peace and war. There is no intermediary way, and no other
alternative. This is the moment to take a clear and resolved stance, and
let history judge us on the moment of truth.
Each and every one of us owes it to his/her children when they ask "Where
were you, and what did you do on these historic moments when the destiny of
the state of Israel was decided?"
We raise the flag of peace and call on all those who support peace in Israel
and throughout the world to join and support us in their masses at this
crucial moment.
Come and endorse your support at the Hunger Strike Peace Tent.
