1.  We Must Observe, Monitor and Report what is actually happening on the ground.  Secrecy is an ally of War and an enemy of Peace. Too often our own Nation hides the ugly side of War, fearing that the truth will shake our resolve for violent retaliation.  This is a tragic mistake. Only by witnessing and speaking the truth can we earn the trust necessary for peace.

All of us must monitor the human rights abuses, and acts of violence committed against all sides in the conflict and report what we see to to a worldwide network of friends, concerned people, synagogues, churches and mosques.  Observation and reporting is key to awakening the conscious of voters, politicians, and supporters on all sides.  Peace Keeper Arthur Gish, in his book Hebron Journal, calls this “The Grandmother Effect”.  “There are things no one will do if their grandmother, or anyone else is watching.”
