The Annapolis conference, where Geoge Bush, the Israeli and Palestinian leaders and many other heads of state are soon gathering is an amazing opportunity for a just peace in Israel and Palestine.
However, many are concerned by the possible consequences should the attendees lack the strength of will to seize this opportunity.
At Peace First we believe that another handshake, another photo opportunity accompanied by words of peace that are not matched by actions will mean that Annapolis has failed.
We fear the consequences if Annapolis fails. We fear for the Palestinian and Israeli peoples, for the stabililty of the Middle East region and for world peace.
We demand peace!
Please join us in demanding peace by signing our petition which we will deliver, prior to the start of Annapolis to The Whitehouse, The Prime Minister of Israel's Office, the Office of the President of the Palestinian Authority and Downing Street.
We the undersigned, urge George Bush, Ehud Olmert, Mahmoud Abbas and all leaders of goodwill attending the Annapolis conference to help both parties agree to a just, durable solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. A solution that emphasises the humanity of both peoples and guarantees their rights, ends occupation and creates a viable Palestinian state as part of a process of reconciliation that will ensure peace and security for the region.
