[ELLEN ROSSER]

Urge Congress to endorse engagement with the UN for a diplomatic resolution
of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Take Action

Americans for Peace Now - the US affiliate of the mainstream Israeli peace
movement Shalom Achshav (Peace Now) - is calling
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=4mfKOJdrROkUP9p2ItYDIlcGy7ZVZmga>
on President Obama to support action in the United Nations Security Council
to help bring about a diplomatic resolution of the Israel-Palestine
conflict. *This is common sense*: when the big powers want to resolve
conflicts diplomatically, *the UN Security Council is where they go to do
it*. That's how we got a diplomatic agreement on Iran's nuclear program;
that's how we got a diplomatic agreement for a ceasefire in Syria.

Unfortunately, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] is
lobbying Congress in the opposite direction, urging its activists to
"encourage your senators and representative to oppose efforts to bring the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the U.N. and other international bodies."
AIPAC doesn't want the UN Security Council to take any action, *because
AIPAC doesn't want the Israel-Palestine conflict to be resolved
diplomatically*. AIPAC wants to maintain the cruel and unjust status quo,
which is guaranteed to produce more violence and unnecessary suffering for
Israelis and Palestinians.

*Urge Congress to stand with Peace Now in favor of a diplomatic resolution
of the Israel-Palestine conflict by signing our petition at MoveOn.
