Rapid Response:

worried for the future

my girlfriend suffers from multural sclerosis and is once in a while
treated in hospitals in the UK. she is afraid that she will not get her
medicine. That is one of my concerns. yet another concern is: what are we
doing with all basic Israeli contributions:for instance the sms system
for the telephone, developement of solar energy ect.

to learn from the history i do remember signs: wir kaufen beim Juden
nicht. (we don't buy from Jews) and is is as though it has not been
remembered.whether you like it or not: there is a democracy in the Middle
East.. and I would have appreciated a full boycott on suicide bombers ..
and I am
eagerly looking foreward for human rights among the palestinians, looking
foreward for a palestinian who will fight for democracy, equality for his-
her-people.
Help the palestinians in developing human rights for women, for children,
for equality and freedom of speech..

Don't let down these Israelis who are figthing and helping the
palestinian people to develope.
and let the israelis so far contribute in science, litterature, human
rights and let's appreciate our freedom of speech, freedom of
thinking..for everybody..
