Israel has launched an all-out war on the Lebanese people. Nearly
600 Lebanese people have been killed (mostly women and children),
hundreds injured, and 750,000 have been driven from their
homes. Entire villages lie in rubble, as does much of the capitol
city. At the same time, more than 100 Palestinians have died in
Israeli attacks on Gaza.
The planes dropping bombs on Beirut and Gaza, the tanks crossing into
Lebanon, and the guns shooting at civilians in Gaza and Lebanon were
made in the USA and paid for with US taxpayer dollars. Israel is the
largest recipient of US financial aid, every year receiving over $3
billion in military and economic aid. Thus is it critical that we
not remain silent while the US government supports, both financially
and diplomatically, these crimes against humanity. Israel has
already laid claim to the southern Lebanese strip with thousands of
Israeli troops occupying the region. Thus we must stand with the
people of Lebanon and Palestine, as well as the Iraqi people, who are
fighting to be free of foreign occupation
