Together4Peace.org: Should Netanyahu Be Charged With War Crimes During Visit With President Obama?
By Prne, Gaea News NetworkTuesday, May 19, 2009
TEMECULA, California - Together4Peace.org, a volunteer-based group, is urging President Obama’s administration to consider filing Criminal Charges against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his role in the Gaza massacres earlier this year. Cluster bombs and chemical weapons were used on the civilian population, causing a humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportion, mounting death, and large scale injuries exacerbated by massive devastation to most homes and infrastructure. Together4Peace.org is looking to mobilize a “One Million votes for the Peace Petition,” calling for an end to Israeli occupation. Giving equal rights to all Jews, Christian, and Muslims of the Holy Land, this petition will be delivered simultaneously to all members of Congress, the U.S. Peace Envoy, members of the United Nations Security Council, and President Obama.
The group is advocating genuine peace. “The dividends of peace in the Holy Land will not only bear fruit in the Middle East, but certainly bring prosperity to the United States, and to the entire world,” states the group on their official web site. The group attributes the root cause of the Iraq war directly to the Arab Israeli conflict. Together4Peace.org is bringing attention to the trillions of American dollars spent on wars essential to be redirected for development and social services to all Americans. “Billions and billions of U.S. tax dollars are given to Israel every year as financial aid. Israel is already a very wealthy country, it has the fifth largest and most powerful army in the world, yet at times we give them more aid than we give ‘all other countries put together,” stated Together4Peace.org. The group is requesting the administration to redirect all financial aid that would go to Israel back to the U.S., with an eye towards improving the U.S. economy.
Earlier this year, while polls indicated two thirds of the American public disapproved of the Israeli massacres in Gaza, Congress did not seem to pay attention to its constituents, or international law, rather voted 390 Yes, 5 No in support of Israel, a disgraceful vote and an indication of who dictates policy to U.S. congress … unfortunately, NOT the people!
Together4Peace.org is a non-profit Peace group, founded in 2006, and run 100% by volunteers. Its mission is to help spread peace, build bridges between people of all faiths. For details visit: Together4Peace.org.
