We
can no longer ignore the suffering of millions due to the injustices of war. To
take action, we’ve committed ourselves to influencing the public opinion by
developing a greater awareness of the crisis in the Middle East and sending financial
help to the families affected by it. This is our appeal.
Our
first step:
August
15: wearing white T-shirts as a symbol of solidarity to spread awareness to the
conflict in the Middle East.
We
invite everyone to share and upload photos and videos on this page. We wish to
get the involvement of as many people as possible in this effort!
“Dialogue
to Unlock” Appeal
Confronted
by the growing number of ongoing armed conflicts in many parts of the world,
especially the worsening crisis in the Middle East, we unite ourselves with
everyone living this tragedy. We encourage the utilization of “dialogue to
unlock” as a path for peace.
We
strongly believe that military means are not a viable solution for bringing
peace. Rather, we are convinced that true and lasting peace is achieved through
negotiation and dialogue: where all parties recognize one another to be equal
in dignity. Therefore, we call upon state leaders and all involved in such
conflicts to stop the use of violent retaliation.
On
our part, we believe in living dialogue wherever we are as a means of
resolving, both small and great conflicts, which we encounter every day in
every part of the planet. Furthermore, we invite all men and women of the world
to be promoters of dialogue in their daily lives.
As
a concrete gesture, we invite whoever wishes to join us in responding to the
many emergency and crisis situations involving people who rely on our
solidarity. Those who support this cause can contribute to the following
