I recently [read / watched] this eyewitness account in the link below which describes the everyday situation facing Palestinians living under military occupation.

[You could add here some of your own comments or explain the situation briefly and what particularly moved you about it].

I ask that you write to the [Minister for Foreign Affairs / head of the faith denomination] raising my concerns and asking what proactive action they will take to help bring about a just peace.
Yours sincerely,
[Your name and address – elected representatives are only obliged to reply to members of their own constituency]
