Will moderator Jim Lehrer of PBS ask the candidates what they intend to do to bring about peace between Israelis and Palestinians? There is just one debate between the candidates focused on foreign policy, so if the question is not addressed in this debate, it may not be addressed in any debate. We're teaming up with Jewish Voice for Peace, United for Peace and Justice, the Council on American Islamic Relations, and the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation to urge Jim Lehrer to ask the candidates what they intend to do to end Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied Palestinian territories, which the U.S. government has long acknowledged is a key stumbling block to peace. Take action now by sending the message below to debate moderator Jim Lehrer. Click the link and we'll send your message to Mr. Lehrer, urging him to ask about Israeli settlements in the West Bank. http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/involved/lehrer.html   "At the presidential debate, please ask Barack Obama and John McCain about their plans to implement U.S. policy of opposition to Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied Palestinian territories, which the U.S. government has long acknowledged is a key stumbling block to peace between Israelis and Palestinians." Peace Now said in a report last month that in the last year Israel had nearly doubled its settlement construction in the West Bank, in violation of its obligations under a U.S.-backed peace plan. [1] Please urge Jim Lehrer to ask the Presidential candidates what they will specifically do to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace and end the policy of Israeli settlement expansion in the occupied Palestinian territories. http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/involved/lehrer.html Thanks for all you do for a just foreign policy, Robert Naiman, Sarah Burns, and Chelsea Mozen Just Foreign Policy Support our work.
