Hi PAOV –
It's not every day one of your heroes tells the world what you mean to them. But yesterday, that happened to JVP. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, visionary leader of the anti-apartheid movement, sent the email below - asking you to stand with him in support of our unique approach to winning justice, equality, and dignity for all. It's absolutely worth your time to read his message below; there's simply no way any of us could make a better case for support. And I hope you'll consider a generous tax-deductible year-end donation today at jvp.org/tutu All the best to you in 2015, -Ari Wohlfeiler Development Director --------------------------------------- "When I look for strength and inspiration to bring true peace to Israel and Palestine, I look to Jewish Voice for Peace" Join Archbishop Desmond Tutu, support JVP today at jvp.org/tutu Dear PAOV, My greatest anguish is beholding what the Israelis are doing to themselves. We saw what apartheid did to the white people, making it possible for them to commit horrendous atrocities. In dehumanising others, they were themselves dehumanised in the process. I saw it in the callousness of young Israeli soldiers at checkpoints when they could decide to let an expectant mother desperately needing a hospital to deliver her baby go through, or not, as the whim struck them.
