VFP Calls for Resolution to End Conflict in Gaza

In accordance with our mission, in particular our work to increase public awareness of the costs of war and to seek justice for victims of war;

And in accordance with our firm understanding that peace at home and peace abroad are inextricably connected;

And with the knowledge that one more clear voice on behalf of peace can help turn back the tide of a humanitarian crisis;

Veterans For Peace Chapter 104 in Evansville calls on the Evansville City Council to formally speak as one with the following resolution to uplift the people who are suffering in the conflict between Israel and Palestine (boldface text added 4/19/24):

"Council expresses its unwavering support and sympathy for all, Palestinian, Israeli, Muslim, Jewish, Christian and all other members of our shared humanity around the world, including those in our own community, who have been impacted by the atrocities of this war."

“Council desires a lasting bilateral ceasefire, release of all hostages, and unrestricted humanitarian aid.”

"Council condemns the terrorist attacks on October 7 and the escalation of hostilities that have led to a humanitarian crisis. Council condemns all forms of anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian racism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia; each of whom has a right to learn, work, worship, gather, advocate, mourn, and celebrate free from intimidation, harassment, and fear of violence."
