</font><font face="Verdana">Dear Robert,</font><p></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Today for the first time in years, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are sitting down for formal peace talks.</font></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Verdana">Like you, we're monitoring these developments carefully. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Verdana">And we're distressed that on the eve of talks, Israel announced 1,200 new illegal settlements - continuing a pattern of talking-while-building that stretches all the way back to Oslo.</span></span></p>
<p><b><span style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Verdana"><a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=sc1hEV%2FJSB5HinHIHCkvLpAa6k7AG1KJ" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)"><u>So we've launched a new petition to hold Kerry accountable, and we need your help to move fast.</u></span></a></span></span></b></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Verdana">Secretary John Kerry has offered a deeply cynical response: instead of reminding Israeli officials they are on the wrong side of international law, he asked Palestinians not to "adversely respond."</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Verdana">That doesn't sound exactly like an impartial broker to us.</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=lPt7uoOM2U3g1YHZadTxDKayhnioEf6G" target="_blank"></a><span style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Verdana"><b>Help us reach 10,000 signatures telling Secretary Kerry he needs to </b></span></span><b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:small">demand that Israel cease settlement expansion immediately<span style="line-height:18px"> and </span></b><b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:small">prove he's serious about a real peace process.</b></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:Verdana">If Kerry won't take a strong stand against settlements, there's no reason to believe that this round of peace talks are credible. In fact, pressuring Palestinians to make "hard compromises" while giving Israel a free pass to violate international law makes things worse.</span></span></p>
