Dear members of Gush Shalom: We have received information regarding recent attacks by theIsraeli government on your organization, which many of us in the U.S. admire greatly. We havesent the following letter in your support to Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein andMinister ofJustice Meir Shetreet. Best wishes, Joel Dansky, Middle East Peace Coalition of WesternMass.,
USA.
Dear Sir:
The Middle East Peace Coalition of Western Mass. wishes to express its unequivocal supportfor the Israeli peace group, Gush Shalom, in its ongoing struggle to achieve a just, lasting,andequitable solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. We strongly object to theattempteddemonization of Gush Shalom by the Israeli government, labeling them as ” traitors,treasonous “and equating them with ” Nazi sympathizers. ” Further we see this activity as a clear andconcerted effort to silence this important peace group and stifle any form of meaningfulopposition to the repressive and increasingly oppressive policies to the Israeligovernment.
Many of the principles and goals as expressed by Gush Shalom are similar to our own and wecan do no less than support them in combating what is seen here as nothing less than acontemptible government-sponsored smear campaign.
Yours in peace, for the Middle East Peace Coalition of Western Mass., Peter Tusinski
