Action Alert: Contact your Senators to oppose Senate Resolution 321
 
Resolution pushes “two state solution” that divides Land of Israel and threatens its people. 
 
 
 
Senate Resolution 321 (S.RES. 321) http://thomas. loc.gov/cgi- bin/query/ z?c110:S. RES.321 was introduced to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on Sept. 19, 2007 in anticipation of the upcoming “peace” conference in November:
 
The title of the resolution is:
“Expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.”
 
 
The main elements of the resolution are as follows:
 
(1) reaffirms its commitment to a true and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, based on the establishment of 2 states, the State of Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security, and with recognized borders;
 
(2) denounces the use of violence and terror and reaffirms its unwavering commitment to Israel's security;
 
(3) calls on President Bush to pursue a robust diplomatic effort to engage the State of Israel and the Palestinian Authority, begin negotiations, and make a 2-state settlement a top priority;
 
(4) urges President Bush to consider appointing as Special Envoy for Middle East Peace an individual who has held cabinet rank or someone equally qualified, with an extensive knowledge of foreign affairs generally and the Middle East region in particular;
(5) calls on Hamas to recognize the State of Israel's right to exist, to renounce and end all terror and incitement, and to accept past agreements and obligations with the State of Israel;
 
(6) calls on moderate Arab states in the region to intensify their diplomatic efforts toward a 2-state solution and welcomes the Arab League Peace Initiative; and
 
(7) calls on Israeli and Palestinian leaders to embrace efforts to achieve peace and refrain from taking any actions that would prejudice the outcome of final status negotiations.

It would be hypocritical considering how senators want to divide Iraq.  However, Iraq's government doesn't care what the US Senate thinks and they said no.  Maybe Israel's government could learn something and also say no.

This would imply that Israel's government has intelligent people who care about their country in charge.

At least if there's a vote, it will force Hillary and Obama to do the same, unless Obama cowardly refuses to do so, like when there was a vote to categorize the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.  And then if Hillary and Obama were to officially vote in favor of this proposition, then any Jew who supports either one of them would then have to admit that they hate Israel. 


There already is a Special Envoy, Tony Blair. 

I think Condi Rice would proceed with this dumb idea regardless of the votes.  Maybe Diane Feinstein just wants to get the position of other senators on the record, with this issue. 

However, I still want senators to vote against it.
