Monday April 15

Organized by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations
co-sponsored by the Congress of Presidents and United Jewish Communities

A mass rally in solidarity with Israel and in support of the war against terrorism took place at the Capitol in Washington DC. Under the theme We Stand With Israel, over 250,000 Jews and non-Jews from across the country joined in standing with Israel as it defends its citizens in the wake of more than 12,000 terror attacks over the last 18 months. We expressed our support for the United States and Israel in the global battle against terrorism. Organizations, synagogues, schools and other groups are joined in sponsoring this major gathering in our nation’s capital.

  Thanks you all !

===========================================================
    
 Our message

• Americans, Jews and non-Jews alike stand in solidarity with the State and people of Israel at this critical time.
• America and Israel are leading the fight against terrorism and are standing up for democratic values.  September 11 and the repeated atrocities committed against Israel demonstrate that all of us are at risk if we don't defeat the global terror network. 
• Israel has a fundamental right of self-defense in the face of daily killing of innocents and more than 12,000 terror attacks in the past 18 months.
• The Arab world must strongly condemn the targeting of civilians.  No alleged grievance can justify intentionally blowing up men, women and children in restaurants, in shopping malls and on public buses.
• Despite calls by the international community and in violation of previously signed agreements, Yasir Arafat has failed to stop terrorists operating from territory under his jurisdiction.  Indeed, organizations directly under his control, such as the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, have become the principal agents of violence against Israel.  Israel was left with no choice but to take the steps necessary to protect itself from the terrorist infrastructure sheltered and supported by the Palestinian Authority.
• Having experienced our own national tragedy on September 11, we Americans understand Israel's pain as never before and know there can be only one option: together with allies like Israel we must win the war against terrorism. 
• We know that Israel - its leaders and its people – want peace and are prepared to make painful compromises to achieve it.  We saw this at Camp David in July 2000.  Israel is not the obstacle to peace.  The essential problem lies with the leaders of the Palestinians and those Arab states that still deny Israel's legitimacy as a Jewish state; that still support and engage in terrorism (the Foreign Ministers of the Arab League only two weeks ago refused to identify suicide bombings against Israel as terrorism.) 
• This is a time to stand unequivocally behind the principles shared by America and Israel - fight terrorism with determination; respect democratic values; and seek peace through negotiations, not violence.
• Peace cannot come while murderers are glorified, while the media, textbooks, and religious leaders espouse violence and hate, while political leaders incite and justify terrorism.
