The Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families’ Forum For Peace headed by Yitzhak Frankenthal has stepped up its ad campaign with a new series of full color newspaper and billboard ads “Lebanon 1982. The Palestinian Authority 2002. The same unnecessary entanglement. The same destruction. The same victims dying in vain. Stop Shooting Start Talking. The road to peace is preferable over the path to war.”
At the outset of the campaign Frankenthal told IMRA that the European Union provided financial support and that the campaign cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Israeli-Palestinian Bereaved Families’ Forum For Peace is a group of Israelis and Palestinians who all agree that Israel should make compromises for peace.
The “bereaved families” label is applied equally to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers and the families of those murdered by the bombers.
