While direct talks failed to produce the desired results, we haven't given-up on peacemaking. As a world leader, the role of the U.S. government is crucial to a future peace with justice and security for all.
The president is facing the need to develop a new strategy for advancing an agreement for peace.
What's happening to Palestinians and Israelis cannot be tolerated by Christians who hear the call of Jesus to embody and work for peace. Violence and dehumanization directed at any person cannot be endured without a high price being paid by all of us.

For the Peace of Jerusalem: Christians for Israeli-Palestinian Peace Now [http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5575/p/salsa/web/common/public/index.sjs] is a national campaign calling on people of Christian faith across the country to work for a just and secure peace for Israelis and Palestinians in the Holy Land. The campaign’s launch on December 1, 2010 is especially timely given the U.S. administration’s focus on direct negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian leadership, the challenges these talks have already faced, and the important role of the Holy Land in this season’s celebrations of Christ’s birth. Find out more about the campaign and its members at http://www.peaceofjerusalem.org/.
