Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center - www.sabeel.org
Sabeel is an international peace movement initiated by Palestinian
Christians in the Holy Land who seek a just peace based on two states-Palestine
and Israel-as defined by international law and existing United Nations
resolutions. Sabeel promotes theological, moral, and legal principles
for peace as outlined in the Jerusalem Sabeel Document. Friends of
Sabeel-North America (FOSNA) works in the U.S. and Canada to support
the vision of Sabeel, cultivating the support of American churches
through co-sponsored regional educational conferences, alternative
pilgrimage, witness trips, and international gatherings in the Holy
Land.

Jewish Voice for Peace: www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org.
SF Bay Area grassroots organization promoting the rights of Jews,
Palestinians, and all peoples of the Middle East.
United States Institute of Peace: www.usip.org.
After 24 years, this institute is getting a high-profile in DC: a
new building with a Public Education Center is going up on the northwest
corner of the National Mall, near the Lincoln Memorial and across
the street from the State Department. Meanwhile, the USIP’s
global reach has expanded exponentially in recent years, with special
activity in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And check out a 2-minute video about Palestine:
"Land in
Fragments." The facts it portrays must be changed, if standing
U.S. goals for a "viable, contiguous, sovereign, and independent
Palestinian state" are to happen. Good thinking and careful watching!
