Een Ander Joods Geluid

After the ceasefire, end the siege of Gaza. End the Occupation of East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Israel said it would never negotiate a prisoner exchange, but now it is. Gilad, Ehud and Eldad will be free when Marwan, Hamdi, Emad and others held for years are also free. 

A ceasefire was again offered by the Palestinians. This time Israel listened and accepted.

The logic is stark: five months of military action brought Sderot less security than a single negotiation. We, Jews of the USA, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Greece, Austria and Switserland call on you to follow this path to its logical conclusion.

Lieberman's way endangers the security of Israel and Jews worldwide. Instead, we need to apply the universal values of Jewish tradition: justice, integrity, mutual respect and equal rights.

A search for peace cannot be based on force or fundamentalism but only on meaningful negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, on the basis of international law.
