With renewed rocket fire on Israel it is still so important to continue spreading this campaign and writing more letters! See this letter from James Clappison MP to see how important writing a letter is and how much of an impact it can have. Thank you for your email. I very much understand the concerns you have raised and I fully support Israel’s action although I would like to see them do everything conceivable to minimise civilian casualties and look to brokering a peace deal as soon as possible. I attach the body of a letter, which I have sent to the Prime Minister this morning. “There has been an outpouring of concern from my constituents about the position of the Jewish community in the UK in light of recent developments and I have to say I share their concern. It is, of course, completely legitimate for people to express a range of views about the situation in the Middle East but, it is surely not acceptable for this to turn into antagonism or even persecution directed to one section of the community. I know that you have a terrific record of standing up for a tolerant and freedom loving society and I would very much like you to be aware of the concerns which are being expressed to me.” It is again important to re-iterate that a negotiated two-state solution remains the only way to resolve the conflict once and for all and to achieve a sustainable peace so that Israeli and Palestinian families can live without fear of violence. No other option exists which guarantees peace and security for both peoples. I can assure you the UK will work with all parties to make progress towards this goal. As Member of Parliament for Hertsmere, I have constantly raised the issue of rocket attacks into Israel and I personally find it frustrating that the world only takes notice of this issue when Israel exercises it right to act in self-defence. Yours sincerely James Clappison Member of Parliament for Hertsmere Please share the need to write letters and continue to write!
