We ask that the President and the State Department acknowledge and strongly oppose the genocidal persecution faced by Middle Eastern Christians. Stand with Prince Charles, who states:
"For 20 years I have tried to build bridges between Islam and Christianity." .... "[W]e have now reached a crisis where bridges are rapidly being deliberately destroyed by those with a vested interest in doing so. This is achieved through intimidation, false accusation and organised persecution" of "Christian communities in the Middle East." (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25426155)
The United States should review this crisis in light of the UN's definition of genocide (cf. CPPG, Article 2). Groups taking part in attempted genocide -- as in Maaloula -- must swiftly be defunded, marginalized and opposed.
