[WCUSP] POLITICAL ALLIES: ACTION ALERT: PUT A HALT TO THE ISRAELI MASSACRES IN THE PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES.

[Marlene Santoyo]

11/08/06-CFL ALERT: PUT A HALT TO THE ISRAELI MASSACRES IN THE PALESTINIAN
TERRITORIES.

*On November 8, Israeli tank shells killed at least 18 people in their
sleep. Eight children are said to be among the dead. Of the 18 killed, 13
were from the same family and over 40 more were wounded in a residential
attack on Beit Hanoun.  According to witnesses at the scene all of the dead
are women and children.   The human cost of the attacks on Beit Hanoun have
resulted in over 75 Palestinians killed in less than a week.

*On November 6, the international Red Cross condemned what they called a
deliberate Israeli attack on clearly marked ambulance workers; the ICRC
issued a statement saying that, "The International Committee of the Red
Cross is appalled by this failure to protect personnel engaged in emergency
medical duties.  The individuals concerned and their means of transport were
clearly marked with a distinctive emblem conferring the protection of the
Geneva Conventions [on the conduct of warfare]," continued the same
statement.”  Two paramedics were killed.

*On November 3, two Palestinian women who were taking part in non-violent
protest were killed when Israeli Occupation Forces began shooting at a group
of hundreds of women from Beit Hanoun.  To watch video of the attack on
unarmed women, click here.

*Call, Fax and Email your representatives today and ask them to stop
supporting the indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian women and children.
Tell them that you expect this country to do what it must to stop the
killings in Gaza.  Israel would not be able to commit these crimes if not
for the support of the U.S. In fact, in Palestinian media has been showing
pictures all day of the shrapnel being pulled out of the bodies of
Palestinian victims all of it stamped: Made in the U.S. It is unacceptable
for us to be supporting war crimes in the territories.  Tell your elected
officials to take heed of the elections we just had in this country.  The
Republicans ought to realize that we have had enough war, lies and
corruption.   The Democrats should know that we can, as a people, come
together for change and that they must support justice in this world by
condemning Israeli atrocities or we will not vote for them either.
Supporting Israeli war crimes is not only immoral but it is never going to
make this country safer.
