To the Esteemed Leaders of the Palestinian
National Government:
Asalaam Aleickeim
With
thanks to the Almighty we extend our blessings and well wishes
towards your newly formed national unity government.
This
is an important initial step towards the goal of securing full sovereignty
for your people in their ancestral homeland. As Jews committed to
the teachings of the Torah, and particularly its exhortations to
treat all men with justice and kindness, we support all steps
which bring you closer to the realization of this goal.
Despite
the media blackout and the propaganda of Zionism, we recall, with
fondness, as we are sure you do as well, when our peoples dwelt together
in Palestine in years gone by. Although this harmonious relation
has been severely harmed by Zionism, there are many Jews in the Holy
Land and around the world who yearn for a return to the old days
of peace and true mutual respect.
It
is our hope and prayer to the Almighty that the future will witness
a peaceful dismantling of the Zionist state and establishment
of one unitary Palestinian state where all its citizens, Arab
and Jew, will walk the streets in safety and brotherhood.
AMEN.
