Dear Mr. President,

No president has given the Palestinians so much hope and at the same time caused them such killing and destruction. There is still hope Mr. President. The Palestinians are still in some of their own land and alive. Two things while you think about your next step will help.

1. Whenever people fight, common sense calls for them to be separated. The military occupation our forefathers rebelled against ended with the withdrawal of British troops. Stop the occupation Mr. President. Put in international border troops along the pre-’67 border as per Res 242.

2. The provocative settlements must go. Without soldiers to back them up, they may be too tempting a target for the justified pent-up rage of the Palestinians. My party, your party as well, respects the law and the law tells the Israelis to go home, the parties over. You’ve stayed too long already.
