It really is quite remarkable that Darfur has become a household name. I am gratified that's the case.

The conflict in Darfur could escalate to where we're seeing 100,000 victims per month.

Individuals can stand up against genocide in Darfur and Iran's quest for nuclear weapons.

We all might ask ourselves why we tune in to these more trivial matters and tune out when it comes to Darfur.

Despite the increase in world attention toward Sudan in the past months, the genocide in Darfur has continued without any serious attempt by the Sudanese government to do what governments primarily exist to do, protect their citizens.

In all, dozens upon dozens of groups and organizations have prioritized stopping the killing in Darfur before there is no one left to be killed. It is high time that we, the U.S. Congress, join our name to that list.

We need to begin an all-out diplomatic offensive on Darfur in order to prepare the way for a peacekeeping force that can ensure protection for the people of Darfur.

While Americans have heard of Darfur and think we should be doing more there, they aren't actually angry at the president about inaction.

There are something like 300 anti-genocide chapters on college campuses around the country. It's bigger than the anti-apartheid movement. There are something like 500 high school chapters devoted to stopping the genocide in Darfur. Evangelicals have joined it. Jewish groups have joined it.

As a Jew I cannot sit idle while genocidal atrocities continue to unfold in Darfur, Sudan.
