Athens. The delegation is expected to arrive at Beirut on Saturday, the

and India are going to form a unified international civil mission. Its task
is to promote the demand for an immediate cease-fire and express the

delegation said that after the fiasco of the Rome conference the so-called
international community actually gave a green light to Israel to wipe out
Lebanon and Palestine. They added that the key point for a fair and enduring
peace in Middle East is the withdrawal of the Israeli army from all occupied
Arab territories and the formation of an independent sovereign state in the
borders of ’67.

Confederation, Confederation of Professors, Union of Hospital Doctors of

EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY CALLED TO PLAN DIRECT ACTION AGAINST ISREALI INVASION
OF LEBANON AND PALESTINE! (AND THE CONTINUED OCCUPATION OF IRAQ)
TUESDAY 1ST AUGUST
ROOM, H216, CONNAUGHT HOUSE, LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS
In response to the actions of last Tuesday (18th July) and Saturday (22nd) it has become
clear that there is an overwhelming desire to do more than passively protest the masacre
happening in Lebanon and Palestine. Currently over 350 Lebanese have been killed while
the governments and populations of the world watch. At the same time the media is
speaking about balance, to try to fool us into their 'neutral' coverage. The systems of
power are attempting to silence any form of unconventional dissent. Once again,
demonstrations have been called in which people march along proscribed routes and listen
to planned, boring speeches. We've seen this play before with the run up to the Iraq war. We
now know that passive demonstrations alone are not sufficient to halt the
war machine.
To combat this, we are calling an emergency assembly to plan direct action against the
Isreali invasion of Lebanon and Palestine, and the continued occupation of Iraq. The
assembly will take place on Tuesday, 1st of August at 6.30pm.
Venue: room H216, on the second floor of Connaught House, London School of
Economics. Connaught House is on Aldwych; for a map and directions see
