Jerusalem Post Provides a Punchy Forceful Article on OneVoice Summit
Etgar Lefkovits just broke a big story on the OneVoice Movement in the Jerusalem Post.
This is a very assertive story that pulls no punches. It will elicit a lot of feelings from all sides, and further redefine the debate. Like with Palestinian extremists trying to undermine the OneVoice Summit on the Palestinian side, Israeli extremists will try to undermine it in Tel Aviv.
But this will only help uncover them.
For the record, some of our Honorary Board members’ affiliations in the article are wrong: Avishay Braverman has since moved from being President of Ben-Gurion to be a member of the Knesset; and two of the Board members listed have been very inactive for at least 2 years so they are practically not involved or part of it. But there are another 50+ that were not listed and are far more engaged…
Another clarification is that the 600,000 signatories do not necessarily agree with a lot of the specifics written in the article. They all agree on the OneVoice Mandate, which calls for immediate negotiations to establish a two-state solution, but leaves all details to the Heads of State elected by their people.
Still, the article is powerful and strong, worth reading.
