Gaza border residents demonstrate against escalation
Gaza border residents demonstrate against escalation
and for dialogue
Last Friday, the IDF carried out a "liquidation" in the Gaza Strip, and immediately the alert level was raised in our region for fear of a Palestinian retaliation leading to escalation.
On Friday, April 8, 2011, at 2:30 PM, we will hold a protest vigil at the Yad Mordechai Junction, and call for:
No "Cast Lead 2"! Yes to dialogue! A life for them -A life for us
We, residents of the area, see a close connection between the suffering of our neighborsm due to the ongoing siege and military attacks, and our own suffering.
We call upon the Government of Israel to stop the deterioration towards another senseless cycle of violence, to put an end to the mutual bloodshed and offer residents of this region a different option:
Dialogue, negotiations, and a striving for a long-term agreement, which will make possible a which will enable us and our neighbors to live a quiet life in dignity.
The option of brute force has brought us to a dead end! It's time for a political initiative!
