Thursday, March 5th at 7:30pm
Cape Cod Lounge, Student Union Building
UMass Amherst*
Free, open to the public, and wheelchair accessible.

The "OneVoice Movement" is an international grassroots movement with 
over 640,000 signatories in roughly equal numbers in Israel and in 
Palestine, and 1,800 highly-trained youth leaders. It aims to amplify 
the voice of the overwhelming but heretofore silent majority of 
moderates who wish for peace and prosperity, empowering them to demand 
accountability from elected representatives and work toward a two-state 
solution guaranteeing an end to occupation and violence, and a viable, 
independent Palestinian state at peace with Israel.

Sponsored by the UMass Office of Jewish Affairs, Student Alliance for 
Israel, Muslim Students Association, Arab Students Club, Muslim Public 
Affairs Council, and the local chapter of Brit Tzedek v'Shalom: The 
Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace.

/"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. It also became clear to 
me that in regard to cruelties committed in the name of a free society, 
some are guilty, all are responsible."/

/-Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel/
