If you are someone who is interested in Peace in the Middle East, here’s a letter/note that you can use to speak your peace to your representatives as well as your friends and neighbors.
Dear [Friend/Senator/Representative Last Name],
Today’s ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is a relief, but it cannot be mistaken for resolution. If this is going to be more than a pause before the next rocket lands, it has to be followed by real enforcement.
We’ve seen this before. What makes the difference is not handshakes. It’s what comes after.
I’m urging you to support a policy that is realistic, tough, and legal:
• Reconstruction must be conditional.
No aid should enter Gaza until heavy weapons, tunnels, and imported arms are fully dismantled and verified.
• Security must remain credible.
Israel must retain the right to respond immediately and decisively to future attacks.
• Terrorism and war crimes must be prosecuted.
Peace doesn’t survive when justice is ignored.
• Displacement must follow international law.
We cannot solve one crisis by igniting another.
• Governance must replace militancy.
No more cash to warlords. Invest in civic institutions, jobs, and rule of law.
This is not about choosing sides. It’s about choosing strategy over sentiment and results over rhetoric.
Thank you for standing for a peace that holds because it has teeth.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Your City, State]

I like how you tie together Dems and Arabic Governments. I have often said they are one in the same. That is also to say it seems to me that the Dems only operate against the US. This one will be no different by next week.
Has anyone read any congrats coming from Dems or Arabic govts? Not really. Has anyone read any Palestinian (leader, if there is one that’s not a terrorist) declare Israel’s right to exist? Not really. Trump’s gone in 2 years, his external force for peace will be missing. There’s no diplomatic solution unless it comes from the inside, like another Anwar Sadat.
