Take action on Rafah

nickleberry | 27.05.2004 13:04 | Cambridge

The Israeli Army have killed many Palestinians in their recent activities in Rafah. The Palestinian Solidarity Campaign has asked people to attend a vigil this Friday and also to do some virtual lobbying. See:
 http://www.palestinecampaign.org/events.asp?d=y&id=1014

One way to easily do that virtual lobbying is by visiting the following web site:
 http://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/~npg20/rafahfax.html
You can fax Tony Blair, Jack Straw and the Israeli Embassy from that site. There is a sample text there which you can send or, if you prefer, you can make your own text up and send that.

What is happening in Rafah is too awful for words. We have must do whatever we can to achieve peace with justice.

Atrocities are not just propaganda

If you want independent sources to show that these atrocities have really happened then try Amnesty International:  http://web.amnesty.org/library/index/engmde150542004
United Nations Commission on Human Rights:  http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2004/hr4765.doc.htm
BBC:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3743121.stm

Note, in particular, a quote from the last site: "The [funeral] procession to Rafah sports stadium had to be re-routed when Israeli fire was directed at mourners, wounding two."

These are real atrocites, with real victims.
