Kosovo War

"We lose something important if we forget Kosovo and the harrowing events that finally led to the self-determination of its nearly 2-million inhabitants. Long deprived of even vestigial national and human rights, then forced at gunpoint onto deportation trains and threatened with the believable threat of mass murder, these people were belatedly rescued by an intervention that said, fairly simply, there is a limit beyond which law cannot be further broken and conscience further outraged."

"We as Jews cannot stand idly by when faced with images of Kosovo, with thousands of refugees expelled from their homes, with frightened faces looking out from railway trains, with children who have lost their parents. As Jews, these images touch us more than any other people, and we as Jews have a special responsibility to remember, understand and act."
