SIGN PETITION AGAINST THE UNILATERAL DECLARATION OF A PALESTINIAN STATE

This September, the United Nations General Assembly may hold a vote on whether or not to endorse a unilaterally declared Palestinian state. It is vitally important that we be prepared to oppose this initiative. Just as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized in his recent address to the US Congress, that the goal is "two states for two peoples: a Palestinian state alongside the Jewish state," only through bilateral negotiations between the parties can a true peace with secure and recognized borders be achieved.
