Subject:     5 minutes for Palestine

Dear friends,

MSNBC, a leading news website, is collecting votes for "the worst idea of
the millennium".

Please vote for "The Balfour Declaration" as the worst idea. The Balfour
Declaration, whereby Britain gave away the Palestinian homeland to the Jews
in 1917, was the starting point of the Palestinian tragedy.  The oppressive
Israeli occupation has subjected generations of Palestinians to massive
human rights violations and suffering.

With a combined effort, let us do our part in voicing this statement to the
world. Please go to the link below to place your vote, and also forward this
request to as many people as you know. HURRY as the ballot will close on
Nov. 28th, 1999.

Vote at:

You may add your own reasoning in 50 words or less or simply copy the second
paragraph above, which starts with "The Balfour Declaration..."

Thank you for your time, and thanks to the people who oregionally initiated
this effort,

Stephanie McBader
