We, the undersigned, declare our commitment to democracy and peace. We declare our continued support for a flourishing and secure state of Israel, and we stand in solidarity with Israel\'s democratic values. Furthermore, we support the creation of an economically thriving and secure Palestinian state, and peaceful coexistence between that state and Israel. The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is complex and nuanced. We believe that efforts that vilify or delegitimize Israel, including the use of inflammatory rhetoric, are detrimental to peace and perpetuate the conflict rather than encourage genuine dialogue and reconciliation. We hope that Stanford will be a place where thoughtful discourse on this complex topic will flourish, and that the Stanford community will help lead the way for a peaceful resolution to this conflict.

The feedback has been insightful. I am currently working to bring these concerns directly to the administration.

As a German citizen, it is natural for me to stand by Israel and the Jewish community and to wish for peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine.

The peaceful coexistence of people with each other is one of my primary goals and my message to all peoples. I wish everyone solidarity and live in peace with each other because people are created for this thing and not to fight with their preaching and this is the first and last goal!

Peace is the only way forward for both sides. Hate just keeps the cycle going. Count me in

YES. Stop the delegitimization of Israel. It is counterproductive and just pure hate.

BDS has no place on a university campus. Glad to see some common sense here.

Finally some sanity! We need bridge building not boycotts. Thanks for starting this.
