Dear President Landgraf,
I am writing to you today to encourage you to veto SB160. I've been an advocate of a two-state solution for many of the reasons championed by those in favor of divestment, and have led dialog groups in my synagogue with Muslim and Palestinian leaders. I found last night's intensity unhelpful at best toward these goals, and harmful in many ways toward creating a sense of hope for anyone.
It is possible to be pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian. I am.
The bill hurts many, many people. I'm here to talk, if you'd like, at any point. My cell phone # is xxx, and I live right down the block from campus. Call me at any time.
Please Veto SB160.
Thank you for your leadership,
Rabbi Menachem Creditor
