Please sign the petition calling for an Israel Accountability Act. We are
sending this to several hundred thousand Americans and we want to greet
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon when he comes to the White House on
April 14th with a large number of petitions to the President!

Don¹t just sign this petition, but share it with others!
