For over three years Sudan’s government-backed Janjaweed
Arab-Muslim militia has had free reign to slaughter innocent civilians
in Darfur. Thousands of villages and their
inhabitants are being systematically wiped off the face of the
Earth. Most of the victims are themselves Muslims and
all of them are black Africans.
- As many as 400,000 people have been killed
- 2.5 million have been displaced from their homes
- 3.5 million are starving
As Jews we have a sacred obligation to ensure
that genocide is never ignored. For 60 years the rallying cry of
our community has been, "Never again!" Now we have the opportunity to
put our commitment into action.
Darfur needs your help! Join the Million Voices for Darfur and
send
an e-mail to President Bush calling on him to mobilize an
effective multinational force to protect the civilians of Darfur. The
lives of innocent people are well worth the minute of your time it
takes to send Mr. Bush a message.
ADL has united with over 100 other organizations in the Save
Darfur Coalition. This Sunday we will join the Rally to Stop Genocide in Washington, DC to urge an
end to the violence.
We learned a long time ago that all it takes for evil to
flourish if for good people not to act. Please add
your voice to this important campaign and spread
the word by sharing this message today.
