One democratic state for Palestine and more actions

We try in these postings to provide information that lead to action or directly ask you to take action based on conviction for our common humanity. Convictions without action is not conviction. Please try to take at least one action of compassion per day (or at least every other day). As a minimum, even from the safety of your keyboard, you can email letters to media and politicians (in other words not just messages to those already converted) pressuring them to end wars and conflicts. If one tenth of those getting these messages act in this manner then that is 5000 actions per day.
