   Dear Members of the Security Council,
   I urge you to demand  that Israel agrees to an immediate and
unconditional
ceasefire that has been persistently demanded by Lebanon and Palestine.

Israel blatantly has no limits in exercising its inhumanity and criminal
acts
of war against Palestinian and Lebanese civilians.
   Sanctions should be imposed on Israel for its daily savage strikes on
Palestine and its invasion of Lebanon that far exceed Saddam Hussain's 1990
military operations in Kuwait. Israeli leaders should be charged with war
crimes.
   It is heartbreaking for decent people to watch on the news the
desperation,
grief and trauma that Palestinian and Lebanese families suffer. We look to
the
Security Council to fulfil the conditions of the United Nations Charter
forthwith in relation to protecting the peoples of  Palestine and Lebanon.
   It should also concern you that the Security Council's delay and
ineffectiveness to act responsibly to end these hostilities reveals to the
world a potential redundancy that neatly aligns with the USA's call  to
dismantle the United Nations. In fact, Israel's precise targeting of the UN
position in Lebanon resulting in the deaths of UN personnel endorses the
USA/Israel complete lack of regard for the United Nations and reinforces the
US
aspirations for unhindered power. The repeated US obstruction of peace for
Palestinian and Lebanese civilians in the Security Council should also
hasten
the implementation of the  Security Council reforms especially on the power
of
the veto.
   Once again, on humanitarian grounds I  ask you to deal with the matter of
the
ceasefire urgently and vigorously.
   Sincerely
