DEAR EDITOR: AS QUAKERS WE BELIEVE ALL PEOPLE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD AND NEED A SAFE PLACE ON EARTH TO LIVE. WE ARE DISTRESSED BY THE SUFFERING RESULTING FROM THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PALESTINIAN AND THE ISRAELI PEOPLES. THOSE ON BOTH SIDES ARE VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE.
As our government places conditions on Hamas in regard to Israel, so should Israel be held accountable regarding the rights and the safety of the Palestinian people.
We urge our representatives to insist on the United States maintaining fair and just policies toward both parties in this tragic conflict.
