The following is the text of an email sent to thousands of people in Yerushalayim, asking people to send it to the Secretary General of the U.N.:

Excellency,

Secretary-General of the United Nations

Office of the Secretary-General of the United Nations

On April 15, a protest took place at the army recruitment office in Jerusalem, as a result of the arrest of a religious Jewish girl earlier that day. During the protest, police forces brutally attacked the protesters. The police aimed water cannons at the protesters, not differentiating between protesters and passerby’s. As documented by the press, some children went flying from the impact. Police utilized horses and fired a large number of projectiles at the crowd. Tens, despite hundreds of stung grenades were shot directly into the mass of protesters !. Scores of people were severely injured. Yet more protonents sustained significant property damage.

Jews from all over the World respectfully request that the UN set up an independent commission to investigate these terrible atrocities against peaceful protesters. If needed, sometimes the UN can utilize its Peace Keeping Forces to shield orthodox Jews from these gross violations of international human rights laws by Israeli police.

Additionally, we request that the UN intervene in the unprecedented, yet daily arrests of religious girls and boys who conscientiously object to serve in the IDF.

Respectfully.

(YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
