SHMINISTIM - Have You Heard Of Them???
Write a Letter for the Shministim
Dear Family & Friends,
Shministim. Have you heard of them? I have just now. And once I heard
about
them, I had to do something.
The Shministim all about ages 16, 17, 18 and in the 12th grade are a new
breed of conscientious objectors in Israel and right now they are taking a
stand. They believe in a better, more peaceful future for themselves and
for
Israelis and Palestinians, and they are refusing to join the Israeli army.
They're in jail, holding strong against immense pressure from family,
friends and the Israeli government. They need our sup****t and they need it
today.
The Shministim have asked Jewish Voice for Peace to reach out to people
like
us to let the Israeli government know we are watching, and that we sup****t
their courage. They're hoping to receive hundreds of thousands of
postcards
to be delivered to the Israeli Minister of Defense on December 18th, when
they will hold a massive rally and press conference. They're hoping to
stand
strong on the steps of this majestic building - and on the steps of
history - representing not only the thousands of refuseniks who came
before
them, not only the many young people to whom they are an example of a
better
world, but also to represent us. They have asked you, me, and every person
who strives for peace to be on those steps with them, on that day. I will
be
there.
Will you join me? It's simple. Sign a letter.
