Leaders of Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical churches, including the leadership of the National Council of Churches, have taken out a full-page ad in The New York Times, urging President Bush to use his power to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which they describe as a threat to U.S. citizens as well as the source of ongoing suffering to Israelis and Palestinians. We have also today received another open letter to Bush from Prof. Abe W. Ata, a Palestinian Christian who gives a name to the solutions proposed by the likes of Senator James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) and former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas): Ethnic cleansing.
