CFL ALERT: Israeli war crimes in Qana and Gaza

7/30/06-CFL ALERT: STOP ISRAELI WAR CRIMES IN LEBANON AND GAZA.

*In the past few days Israel has killed hundreds of Lebanese and Palestinian civilians—most recently overnight in Qana where they attacked a four story building where women and children were seeking refuge from Israeli bombs. Israel is commiting war crimesi n clear violation of international law. I am dismayed that, despite the indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas, the U.S. has stifled any attempts to bring the matter to the United Nations in hopes of reaching a resolution. I demand that my representatives speak out against the war crimes taking place in the Middle East right now.

* Tell your representatives that you support an end to aid to apartheid Israel until it learns to live in peace with its neighbors. The events taking place now did not occur in a vacuum. Israel occupied Lebanon in the early 1980’s and imprisoned thousands of Lebanese and Palestinian nationals. This is merely a continuation of that conflict.

*There are 9,000 political prisoners, including women and children as young as 9 years old, who have never been charged with a crime and have in some cases been sitting in Israeli prisons for decades.
