| Lordpatch User Info... | Emergency Rally in Solidarity with Lebanon and Palestine ***Join us at the Vancouver Art Gallery on Monday at 6pm to stand in solidarity with the peoples of Lebanon and Palestine and demand an end to Israeli aggression.*** BRING SIGNS BANNERS NOISE MAKERS ETC. Government contact information and sample letter below In the past 24 hours, the Israeli assault has killed 27 civilians in Lebanon, 10 of who were children. The attacks have destroyed 10 bridges, a television station, and Beirut International Airport, the only international airport in the country. The attack on Lebanon has come 19 days into a brutal assault on the Palestinians of Gaza in which Israel has killed 74 people, a disproportionate number of these martyrs were children. The Israeli military initiated this assault by destroying Gaza’s power supply, sealing it of from the outside world, and using constant bombing to terrorize Gaza’s inhabitants. Gaza is one of the most densely populated places on the planet, and a majority of Gaza’s population are refugees, ethnically cleansed from their homes by Israel since 1947. Since 1967, when Gaza was occupied by Israel, Gaza has been isolated into an open air prison worse than the Bantustans of Apartheid South Africa. http://vancouver.indymedia.org/?q=en/node/1333 - Mon, 17 Jul 2006 6:30am | ||
| Mofo User Info... | for the sake of arguement...there is equally as much blood on Lebanon and Palestines' hands. Further... "Israel has killed 74 people, a disproportionate number of these martyrs were children. The Israeli military initiated this assault" Did you just refer to children as martyrs? As if they were some kind of political chess-piece whose value is somehow greater because of their status as children? That is SICK pal. And to imply that Isreal initiated this assualt is a distortion of the facts, if children (sorry martyrs as you call them) are dying perhaps the Hezbullah should consider releasing the soldiers if they truely care about the citizens of Lebanon and Palestine. I am fully aware of the history of the area and BOTH parties are at fault here, paint it how you like BOTH are to blame, PERIOD. Two wrongs don't make a right and 10 dead children do not make martyrs! - Mon, 17 Jul 2006 8:02am | ||
