Terry McIntosh, who is in charge of the association, made a speech about the good relationship they have with the Palestinians stressing that it is a very important and strong relationship ever since they became closely associated and acquainted with their desperate situation. He added that the Palestinians are good be-loving people who care for peace and stability, and that they hate death and look for their right to live in dignity in their own state, which protects them and keeps their rights. Terry said, "My message to the Palestinians and the Israelis is that Jesus Christ calls for love and peace." He also talked about peace in general and peace in the heart, and that we should follow the message of Jesus Christ for this call, because he is the hope for the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the Americans. He added that we must follow Christ because God sent Him for us, for our safety and to save us from this life's tortures.

Palestinians and Israelis should forget about past sufferings and putting it behind them and follow the call of Christ for peace." |
