multi-year program for full and rapid rehabilitation of the
Palestinian refugees, while absorbing them as citizens in various
countries. During the rehabilitation process, UNRWA, an organization

Dear Friends,
The Oslo Accords and the unilateral withdrawal from Gaza are now
widely recognized as tragic errors of immense proportions. Now, we
face an even greater danger as the Israeli government, in the wake of
the Annapolis summit, is scrambling to give away parts of Israel piece
by piece in the pursuit of yet another false peace.
The creation of another Arab state in the heart of the Holy Land is
anathema to Jewish and Christian faithful alike -- and for good
reasons. In addition to the obvious security issues, it also
contradicts prophecy and hinders the in gathering of the Jewish people
to all parts of the holy and ancient land. It not only abandons the
key biblical holy sites of Bethlehem, Jericho, Bethel and the Jordan
Valley, but also, as we now know, would even divide Jerusalem.
Finally, it flies in the face of God's eternal covenant with Abraham
which is at the very center of the Bible. Whatever else can be said
about our government's plan, clearly it would be a catastrophic
spiritual and psychological defeat for Jews and Christians, and a
colossal victory for Islamic terrorism. No one can foresee what would
follow.
We must now stand together and translate faith into reality. It is
time to learn from previous mistakes, and to create a new strategic
vision which will allow us to protect Israel. We must propose a new
way of thinking and waging the battle for conceptual change.
In this regard, I am proud to be promoting the Israel Initiative
(www.Israelinitiative.com), an original Israeli peace plan which we
are working to advance. Our goal is to bring real peace to Israel
without sacrificing security or our eternal rights to the holy land.
The battle for public opinion is upon us. To this end in the last
few weeks, we have been running the "Collective" software on our
website - a sophisticated program that utilizes advanced, modern-day
technology and enables Internet users to go from being general
supporters to actual influencers. Those who download the program will
help add to our collective strength on the Internet and promote
subjects in a very easy, user-friendly manner.
We are releasing a very well-made video clip, which
will hopefully create a lot of "buzz" on the web and in the news.

can not do this with out your help. In order to achieve this goal, we
