War Crimes 

Supporting Gush Shalom against war crimes


A letter from Bart Kusters

Dear people,

My name is Bart Kusters. I am 37 years old. I live and work in the Netherlands. I am not religious but for some reason I have allways been interested in and atracted to Israel. I have been in your country three times. The first time I spent a month as a volunteer at Kibutz Eilot.

This morning I was reading my newspaper in the train and there was a photo of an Israeli soldier kicking at a protester near Jeruzalem. I felt that I wanted to support you in some way. Every day we read, hear, see about the problems in Israel. It is all so complex and who are we to judge about right and wrong in this matter. I just want to show my apreciation for a handfull of people on both sides who are able to resist a flight into the simple solutions of hate and revenge and who continue to strugle for a lasting peace. I believe that as long as this movement is alive there is hope. PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP.

I will make a financial contribution to your organisation via Stichting SIVMO in the Netherlands.
