By Staff, One With Israel
On the weekend of September 23 to 25, 2011, people all over Texas and the southwest
region will participate in an event called One With Israel. This event is a personal call to action
for solidarity and prayer for lasting peace and stability in Israel. Around 200 churches and
synagogues throughout Texas and the southwest have made their commitment to join One With
Israel to prove that Israel has great friends during these difficult times.
Throughout history, Israel has been in a constant struggle for its right to exist. Despite multiple
attacks, Israel has held fast with the support of its friends and allies.
In September the Palestinian Authority will seek a unilateral declaration in the United Nations
where they may find a majority of support. These actions are designed to impose upon Israel a
Palestinian plan that will bring Israel back to the 1967 borders and to further isolate Israel within
the international community by delegitimizing the nation.
As the Palestinians and the Arab world, most of who refuse to recognize Israel as a Jewish state,
initiate their plan in September, rabbi’s, pastor’s, and ministers we will hold a simultaneous event
in synagogues and churches of the southwest United States. Event organizers invite everyone
committed to demonstrating support for Israel, to join with the Jewish and Christian communities
in this effort. The event is titled: “One with Israel.”
The Consul General of Israel, Ambassador Meir Shlomo states, “True and lasting peace can
only be achieved by direct negations between the Palestinian Authority and the State of Israel.
Anything short of a mutual agreement on key issues, such as the designation of borders,
is counterproductive to a lasting peace. Morality, fairness, and common sense dictate that
direct dialogue between the parties is key.” Shlomo calls for a halt to the UN vote for unilateral
statehood, and continues: “The State of Israel has confirmed its unrelenting commitment to peace
and has been willing to go back to the negation table. Regrettably, these cries have fallen on deaf
ears.”
The Consulate of Israel to the Southwest also invites everyone who supports democracy, peace,
and freedom to demonstrate support for Israel in the “One With Israel” solidarity event.
