[PAA-Discuss] A people's peace in the Middle East?

[Ron and Kris Graham]

I participated in this Avaaz poll as I believe it is very important for our
voices to be heard and our opinions on the Israeli/Palestinian issue to be
noted. Please take the poll, and when you are finished, you will be able to
see the results. Thanks.

 

Kris

Subject: A people's peace in the Middle East?

 


 

Dear friends, 

This week in Annapolis, US President George W Bush announced a fresh Middle
East peace process. Israel and the Palestinian Authority will "make all
efforts" to reach a final agreement by the end of 2008. More meetings are
planned in Paris, Moscow and the region. But are these talks a major advance
toward peace, or a dangerous smokescreen? 

Today, we're launching a global interactive poll -- to see if we, citizens
around the world, can do any better. Together we will decide the direction
of a powerful global campaign on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the
coming months, pressing leaders on all sides to make the changes necessary
for peace. Just click below to participate in the poll (it should take
around 3 minutes), or to view other people's responses:

This poll will decide Avaaz's course on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict --
an urgent global crisis where hope may soon run out. Many diplomats are
warning of "devastating consequences" if this peace process is not genuine.
But each of us has the chance to make our voice heard, and to act. 

There are already over one and a half million people in the Avaaz network.
Coming together in this interactive poll, many thousands of us around the
world can share our views and look for consensus on the way forward. Some
discussions can be difficult. But it's important to have them, and to listen
to each other, because then our campaigning together will become all the
stronger. 

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an old problem -- but we are a new
global force for democracy. If we can no longer rely on the politicians,
generals and diplomats, maybe people power can help tackle the dynamics that
have undermined peace before. We can hold our leaders accountable for doing
better. And if we agree a way forward, our campaigning could achieve a lot
more. 

It all starts with this interactive poll -- so click below to share what you
think, and find out what others have said:

With hope and determination, 

Paul, Galit, Ricken, Graziela, Pascal and the rest of the Avaaz team
