Dear friends,
Warmest greetings from Indonesia
Israeli assaults on Gaza now comes to the third week . 1400
people have been killed in Gaza and this figure includes 400 innocent children
.More than 4000 people have been injured in Gaza . United Nations is helpless
to this situation .
On the day of New Year, January 1st, 2009 our group of
religious leaders had made a meeting in Jakarta and issued a statement with an
appeal to the United Nations to end the conflict as soon as possible .
On January 7th our group of religious leaders together with
leaders of political parties, artists and people of cultural life visited the
office of United Nations in Jakarta and submitted our appeal that the
international body takes all necessary steps to stop the conflict in Gaza .The
UN representative promised to sent our appeal to UN Secretary General Ban Ki
Moon in New York .
On Friday, January 9th our group visited the US Embassy in
Jakarta to submit our letter to President-Elect Barack Obama urging him to pay
due attention to the people of Gaza .In our letter to Mr.Obama we wrote, "....
The plight of millions of Palestinians should never escape your attention and
the attention of millions of Americans. For decades, millions of Palestinians
-especially women and children- have been living in fear and injustices. For
decades, Palestinians have been enduring the terrible impacts of oppression.
For decades, the Palestinians have been struggling to restore their dignity as
a sovereign nation free from any oppression from outside forces.For decades,
millions of Palestinians have been yearning for those values cherished by
America : sustainable and genuine peace based on the values of justice,
equality, and freedom. ...."
The letter was red by Rev.Dr.Richard Daulay, Secretary
General of National Communion of Churches in Indonesia in front of Indonesian
group and the officials of US Embassy .
Mr.Theophilus Bela, Secretary General of Indonesian
Committee of Religions for Peace blamed the US Administration for failing to
listen to an appeal of US Bishops' Conference, asking for sending a high
ranking official to the Middle East to make peace between Israel and Hamas . In
his remarks Bela quoted Bishop Howard Hubbard from Albany, New York, Chairman
of US bishops' Committee on International Justice and Peace, who was calling
for a high-level US representative to be sent to the Middle East to help
negotiate peace between Israel and Hamas .
The appeal came in a letter dated January 1st, 2009 from
Bishop Hubbard to Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice . In his letter the
Catholic bishop urged for an "immediate, visible and decisive US leadership is
urgently needed..." The letter of Bishop Hubbard can be found in the website
www.zenit.org from Rome
You may find in the attachment an English report about our
visit to UN office in Jakarta on January 7th. Our visit was also reported by
the Catholic News Agency in Asia in their website www.ucanews.com under the
title "Indonesian Religious Leaders urge UN to stop Israeli Assault on Gaza" .
You may find in the report pictures of Din Syamsuddin and Theophilus Bela (in
dark suit)
The same news agency also brings a report from Indonesia
titled "Indonesian Youth, Religious Leaders Protest Israeli Assault on Gaza" .
On the coming week end our interfaith group will hold a
fund raising evening for the victims of Gaza
In the middle of February this year Theophilus Bela will
visit Australia to attend the Interfaith Summit organized by Multi-Faith Centre
of Griffith University in Brisbane . He will speak about interfaith dialogue in
Indonesia : Opportunity and Challenges during the Interfaith Summit in Brisbane
from February 16 till 22 . He is thinking of visiting other friends in
Australia but he has not yet fixed his plan .
Thank you very much for your kind attention and I wish you
all a successful new year 2009
best regards from Jakarta
