    Standing for Those Who Choose Nonviolence

    January 15, 2009 // 9262 Comments »http://lifeasmission.com/blog/2009/01/standing-for-those-who-choose-nonviolence/Standing+for+Those+Who+Choose+Nonviolence2009-01-15+23%3A30%3A31JR+Rozko

    I am certainly no expert on Israeli-Palestinian relations or the fighting that has been going on between them for so long.  I do know that it has gotten worse recently and I am sure that the future holds only more of the same.  I also know that, as with all conflict, people tend to support one side over another based on whatever criteria they deem to be most important.  Whatever the case, it is an easy decision for me to support these folks, the Shiministim, Israeli’s (teenage) conscientious objectors who are being imprisoned for their refusal to serve in the military.  Check it out in more detail here and see if you feel compelled, as I was, to sign and send the letter to have them released.

    And this, my friends, is why I get really, really scared about the American media…

    Thanks Nick for pointing it out.
