From the Paper:

"As the world watched in horror on September 11 the United States was attacked. We were disgusted, we were frightened and we were angered beyond control. This sort of thing just isn't supposed to happen here. It also provided a wake up call to the plight of other nations who undergo violent attacks on a regular basis. The city of Jerusalem is an illustrative example of what can happen when both sides are willing to give up and neither side can really win. We have watched for decades as the factions in Jerusalem continue to fight and at this point it appears it may never end. The military, its actions and the policy that has been shaped by it have had an undeniable impact on the city of Jerusalem."
