Flagler Jewish Teens to Consider Action on Missing Israeli Soldiers

The Jewish teenagers of Flagler County will gather at Temple Beth Shalom on Tuesday evening, September 25th from 6:30 until 8 p.m. to consider action with regard to Israeli soldiers missing in action and believed to be held captive by Israel's enemies. Under the auspices of Yad B'Yad, the organization of Flagler County's Jewish teens, consideration will be given to rallies and demonstrations, the circulating of petitions for the return of kidnapped Israeli soldiers, appeals to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, the embassy and consulate officials of Lebanon, Syria and the Palestinian Authority, and a variety of other possible actions.

Flagler Jewish Teens may heed the call to the UN for UN assistance in securing the release of these hostages. They may also ask the Secretary General to ensure that UN Resolution 1701 is fully enacted so that new arms are not brought into southern Lebanon and no more soldiers are killed, injured or abducted. They may call upon the UN to ensure that Lebanon takes full responsibility for its southern border, prevents Hezbollah from acting as a state within a state in south Lebanon, and provides real security on Israel's northern border.

Letters can be sent to:

The Honorable Ban Ki-Moon
Secretary General
760 United Nations Plaza
United Nations
New York, NY 10017

Some are suggesting writing letters to Israel's legislature, the Kenneset to insure that these soldiers remain the government's top priority. In some communities around the country, President Bush, Secretary of State Rice, Senators and Representatives are being contacted to commend them for their support of Israel in the War. Here, too, a desire is expressed to continue to seek full implementation of UN Resolution 1701 to secure Israel's northern border.

All Jewish teens are welcome to this event, Tuesday, September 25th, 6:30 p.m. at Temple Beth Shalom on Wellington Drive in Palm Coast.
