Pro-war groups are requesting that members of Congress issue statements supporting Israel’s right to “defend its citizens against terrorism” by continuing its military action in Gaza. Human right and peace groups like Amnesty International, Jewish Voice for Peace and Just Foreign Policy are fighting passage of this one-sided resolution that supports the war in Gaza.  A Senate resolution could be considered as early as today. You can find the draft Senate resolution on AIPAC’s web page.  Write your representative now and tell her or him that you expect the United States to take a balanced approach. Tell them that it is in the best interests of Americans, Israelis, and Palestinians for Israel to accept a ceasefire, end the blockade, and achieve peace through an end to Israel’s 40-year old occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territories.


The newly-elected Congress has been sworn in—and has a chance to urge a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza that would end the violence, including Israel’s shelling and ground attack and Hamas’s rockets; end weapons smuggling, and open Gaza’s border crossings to ease the humanitarian crisis. Follow the link below, enter your information, and we’ll connect your phone directly to the offices of your Senators and Representative.

We urge you to send the following petition supporting a Foreign Lobby Registration Act (FLORA) to your representative and the president. Such an act would make lobbies supporting foreign governments more transparent and accountable to the American people. It would also make clear that those lobbies do not work on behalf of American interests but, in fact, work to support the narrow interests of a foreign government.

Sign Children of Abraham Petition, 12/15 We are a group of alumni of Children of Abraham, an organization that fosters dialogue between young Jews and Muslims from all over the world, along with other individuals who are concerned about the relationship between Muslims and Jews in the Middle East and around the world. We hold that Islam and Judaism share the same father, Abraham, and that there are more similarities than differences between the two religions. We have committed ourselves to work together, in all circumstances, for the cause of Peace and mutual respect between these two great peoples. We are deeply troubled by the present conflicts in the Middle East, the loss of human life and ongoing threats to life that imperil the future of all the peoples in the region, Palestinian, Israeli and Lebanese. We believe in common humanity for all and that each human life is precious. We decry war in the name of Judaism and Islam, two fundamentally peaceful religions. We seek to end the fear of the other religion that exists in our communities.
Consequently we call upon the youths, the world’s next generation, to start working together in order to build the better future for our world through cross-cultural understanding. We seek the resolution of all conflicts in the Middle East and security, peace, justice and dignity for all its peoples.

Sign statement to affirm Freedom of Faith in Islam - “Freedom of faith and religion is meaningless without the freedom to change one’s faith.”

Add your name to those who endorse the Amman statement of 2005.  The Amman Message has come to be epitomized in three major juridical and doctrinal points, each crucial to addressing the problems the Islamic world faces today. The great traditional schools of jurisprudence, theology, and spirituality are valid from the point of view of Islam, and the followers of these schools, which include both Sunni and Shi‘i denominations, are all Muslims. Islam has fundamental tenets but is also diverse.  It is impermissible to declare any Muslim so defined as an unbeliever/apostate (a practice called takfir).  Only those with the proper moral and intellectual qualifications, and the proper methodology, may issue fatwas (religious edicts).  Since they were first introduced, these three points have been recognized and ratified universally, through fatwas and official statements, in meetings of the highest and most recognized authorities and scholars in Islamic law, from all denominations and schools of thought all over the world. This is a unique historical event. The statements and signatures from these religious leaders can be see on http://www.ammanmessage.com

Sign statement against domestic violence.  When people of faith join with other community leaders to address domestic violence, we will see ancient roadblocks turn into resources that save lives and bring healing. Please join other people of faith in signing the Declaration.
