BEREAVED Israeli and Palestinian families called for an end to “hate and revenge” and for political leaders to instead seek sustainable peace and reconciliation at an alternative Remembrance Sunday ceremony in London today.
The call came from the joint Israeli-Palestinian Parents Circle – Families Forum (PCFF), which involves more than 600 families who have lost an immediate family member in the continuing conflict.
It was made at the annual National Alternative Remembrance Ceremony organised by the Peace Pledge Union (PPU) in Tavistock Square in London.
