Dear Friends,

We stand with Israel. We support its right to exist among its neighbors in peace. We can never tolerate hatred of one culture, ethnicity, race or religion, the hatred of our brothers and sisters of the Jewish faith.

We are saddened by all the suffering and abhor the cycle of hate and terrorism that is destroying innocent lives on both sides. We look forward to a lasting peace where all people are accepting and respectful.

To settle for less is to perpetuate the hate that exists in the world.
