LET US PRAISE THE COURAGE OF THOSE WHO STAND FOR THE RIGHT AT THE RISK OF THEIR LIVES.

I’m speaking of ARABS for ISRAEL, whose website begins

Arabs and Moslems who support the State of Israel and the cause of Peace in the Middle East.

We are praying for Prime Minister Sharon.

To Muslims and Arabs across the globe:

Reject hate, embrace love. Bring out the best in Islam by showing your compassion, gratitude and forgiveness. Make the holy land truly holy by giving Israel and the Jewish people the respect they deserve in their tiny little country. This is not a crisis over land. It is a crisis of the soul; a crisis in our faith, judgement and self confidence. Israel should not be regarded as an enemy, but as a blessing to our neighborhood. We need not fear peace, but embrace it.

Who ARE these people? They tell us:

Who Are We?

We are Arabs and Moslems who believe…

* We can support Israel and still support the Palestinian people. Supporting one does not
cancel support for the other.
* We can support the State of Israel and the Jewish religion and still treasure our Arab and
Islamic culture.
* There are many Jews and Israelis who freely express compassion and support for the
Palestinians. It is time that we Arabs express reciprocal compassion and support.
* The existence of the State of Israel is a fact that should be accepted by the Arab world.
* Israel is a legitimate state that is not a threat but an asset in the Middle East.
* Every major World religion has a center of gravity. Islam has Mecca, and Judaism
certainly deserves its presence in Israel and Jerusalem.
* Diversity should not be a virtue only in the USA, but should be encouraged around the
world. We support a diverse Middle East with protection for human rights, respect and
equality under the law to all minorities including Jews and Christians.
* Palestinians have several options but are deprived from exercising them because of their
leadership, the Arab League and surrounding Arab and Moslem countries who do not
want to see Palestinians live in harmony with Israel.
* If Palestinians want democracy they can start practicing it now.
* We stand firmly against suicide/homicide terrorism as a form of Jihad.
* We are appalled by the horrific act of terror against the USA on 9/11/2001.
* Arab media should end the incitement and misinformation that result in Arab street rage
and violence.
* We are eager to see major reformation in how Islam is taught and channeled to bring out
the best in Moslems and contribute to the uplifting of the human spirit and advancement
of civilization.
* We believe in freedom to choose or change one’s Religion.
* We cherish and acknowledge the beauty and contributions of the Middle East culture, but
recognize that the Arab/Moslem world is in desperate need of constructive
self-criticism and reform.

On the site there is a place for e-mails from Arabs - filled with letters from all over the world. Bring your hankie when you read them….very emotional. There is also a place for e-mails from Jews, an archive of articles, another of articles in Arabic, etc.

What a message in today’s world. Praise G_d!
