Dear Prime Minister Sharon
As a citizen of the United States of America, a country which greatly supports thestate of Israel, I wish to voice my concern over legal proceedings being taken againstthe peace group Gush-Shalom.. Most of the world is greatly concerned about theescalating violence in Israel and pray that peace will soon come.
However, the civilized nations of the world expect the rules of the GenevaConvention to be followed.. It seems highly suspicious when a government seeks tosupress a peace group from urging soldiers to keep their calm and not resort tohuman rights violation in the course of their duties.. Censoring media and limiting theiraccess to military zones also creates much suspicion upon the government of Israel..If the Israeli government is innocent of humanitarian violations, why not allow freepress coverage and a free voice to national and international peace groups?
I urge you to drop charges against Gush-Shalom and to reign in any Israeli militaryofficers who may have committed actions which broke the Geneva Convention, orwho have boasted of such actions, whether real or not.
Shalom,
