APN mourns Senator Kennedy

Ted Kennedy 186x140.jpgAmericans for Peace Now today mourns the passing of a Senator Edward Kennedy, a long-time advocate of peace for Israel.

As far back as 1989, in a letter to APN, Senator Kennedy articulated a position that still rings true today:

"Peace will never be a reality until leaders on all sides are willing to sit down and negotiate directly on the terms and conditions of a political settlement for the region. We must ensure, on the one hand, a strong and secure Israel, while at the same time providing meaningful help to the Palestinian people. This dual approach is the only realistic basis for a lasting and secure peace."

His courage and vision will be deeply missed.
