Statement of the participating organisations: "With an American attack against Iraq, all the peoples of the Middle East, including us -- Israelis and Palestinians -- will pay the price: Death, destruction and more wars. And still, the Israeli public is indifferent, perceiving this war to be a natural disaster that cannot be prevented. The time has come to raise our voices against this war, for the sake of all of us and on behalf of a peaceful future in the Middle East."
