PALESTINE-ISRAEL: APPEAL TO THE GOVERNMENTS, "ENOUGH WITH BLOOD AND TEARS!"

” “"Enough with blood and tears in the Near East!" This is the beginning of the message that the presidents and leaders of 15 movements and bodies delivered this morning to the French Government and then Paris relayed to the Governments of all nations, to put an end to the tragedy of the Near East. The signatories of the appeal realise that "the solution of the conflict that is destroying the future of the peoples of Israel and Palestine demands a high-level political measure developed by international agreement, to bear real proposals and hopes". Therefore they appeal to the national Governments that "an international conference be convened as soon as possible, to put an end to this conflict by putting into effect the existence of the two States of Israel and Palestine". Anyone who would like to consult the full text and support the appeal can log on to www.paxchristi.cef.fr. One of the signatories is Michel Camdessus, president of the Social Weeks of France.” “
