Utahns for a Just Peace in the Holy Land

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Utahns for a Just Peace in the Holy Land --- is a coalition of peace advocates, civil and human rights advocates, faith based individuals, and others who promote peace with justice in Israel and Palestine. We believe that a true and lasting peace in the region cannot be imposed, instead peace must be based on justice as already set forth by international law and United Nations Resolutions.
