Arabikansojen ystävyysseura ja Helsingin Suomi-Israel-yhdistys ovat lähettäneet tammikuussa 2006 seuraavan kirjeen Israelilais-Palestiinalaiselle perheiden forumille. Forumi tuo yhteen israelilaisia ja palestiinalaisia perheitä, jotka ovat menettäneet jäseniä väkivaltaisuuksissa.
Dear Friends in Parents Circle – Families Forum
The Finland-Israel Association of Helsinki and the Finnish-Arab Friendship Society greet the Israeli-Palestinian Families Forum.
It is hope-inspiring that those who have suffered most in the conflict between the peoples are able to act as an example in starting mutual dialogue.
Reaching peace would serve the interests of people on both sides of the border.
In the spirit of your example, the Finnish-Arab Frienship Society and the Finland-Israel Association of Helsinki are together considering ways to cooperate with you. Is there something which foreign friendship societies of both sides could do for you?
With kindest regards,
Ilona Junka, chairperson
Finnish-Arab Friendship Society
Tuula Ruoppa-Salo, chairperson
Finland-Israel Association of Helsinki
Vesa Hirvonen, secretary
Finland-Israel Association of Helsinki
