Jan. 17: Stand at road junctions to support peace On Friday, January 17, 2014, between 10 am to 1 pm , Israeli peace activists will be standing at fifty road junctions throughout the country, to express support for peace with the Palestinians. They will hold banners reading “Peace Junction Ahead” and distribute to motorists leaflets and car stickers with the slogan “The Majority has Decided for Peace ` and collect signatures on a petition supporting peace with the Palestinians. ======================================================================== Uri Avnery and other Gush Shalom activists will be present on ASrlozorov Junction, Tel Aviv (corner of Arlozorov St. and Namir Rd.)/ To join this specific location call 054-2340749 or write to 1453ak@gmail.com. ======================================================================== This campaign is initiated by the Peace NGOs Forum, headed by Dr. Ron Pundak, Massad (Social Democratic Camp) headed by Naftali Raz and the Knesset Caucus for Resolving the Israeli-Arab Conflict , headed by KM Yechiel Bar The aim is to make heard the voice of the silent majority among Israeli citizens, who support peace – a majority which is revealed in public opinion polls.
