Yet again Israel massacres Gazan civilians - and yet again world leaders sit on the fence while people burn

The whole world is watching while Gaza burns and implodes under the might of Israel's military machine. On all major news outlets the charred remains and scattered bodies are a graphic reality TV horror show, right down to the shrouded bundles of what was once 5 little girls who sought safety in a mosque only to be incinerated in a direct hit.

The collective punishment of civilians is a war crime; the whole world is watching gruesome war crimes taking place.

Stop! Look! And listen! Then lobby, campaign and fight for human rights enshrined in international law to be upheld and enforced in this case against the Israeli state war machine.

Below are some template letters for lobbying purposes!! Addresses at bottom of post.

"I am writing to you to urge you to immediately call on Israel to cease
its attacks on Gaza. I am horrified to learn that more than 200 people
have been killed in Gaza in the last few hours and many more will be
killed if Israel does not cease its attacks immediately.

I also urge you to call for an urgent meeting of the United Nations
Security Council to press for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

The response of the international community in urging Israel to
minimise civilian casualties is entirely unacceptable when nearly 200
people, many of whom are women, children and innocent civilians, have
been killed in the past few hours. Israel must be pushed to
immediately cease all its attacks.

The international community must accept that it has a moral imperative
to bring an end to the violence unfolding in Gaza. The UN Security
Council should meet straight away, call for a ceasefire and impose an
arms embargo on Israel.

I am writing to you as a (British citizen) who is horrified by the
response of my country to these killings and urge you as a
representative of my country to take immediate action.

Yours sincerely "

Dear

I am writing to you to urge you to immediately call on Israel to cease
all its attacks on Gaza.

I am horrified to learn that over 200 people have reportedly been
killed in Gaza in the last few hours, many of them entirely innocent
civilians, a significant number believed to be schoolchildren
returning home from morning lessons.

As Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights and many other observers
feared, Israeli rhetoric of avoiding civilian loss of life is not
rooted in a proper application of the legal principles of
proportionality and distinction. Today's events are not proportionate
acts of self-defence.

I do not believe that Israel has made a lawful case for the wholesale
targeting of Hamas. I believe from news reports that one target struck
today was a graduation ceremony of police officers employed by the
Hamas government – what evidence is there of any connection between
rockets fired by militants, whether under the direction of Hamas or
otherwise, and these trainee police officers?

But in any event, striking populated areas with the kind of force used
by Israel today, even if some of the targets were in principle
legitimate military targets, can never be in compliance with an
ordinary understanding of the laws of war. Israel's acts are therefore
war crimes and crimes against humanity and everything possible will be
done within the law to bring all those concerned to justice, including
any third parties against whom there is evidence that they have aided
and abetted these crimes.

Many more civilians will be killed if Israel does not cease its
attacks immediately.

I urge you to immediately contact other foreign ministers to arrange
an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council to pass a
resolution requiring an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and calling on the
international community to collect evidence of war crimes and crimes
against humanity.

The response of the international community in urging Israel to
minimise civilian casualties is entirely unacceptable when many
innocent civilians, including children, have been killed in the past
few hours. Israel must be pushed to immediately cease all its attacks.

The international community must accept that it has a moral and
arguably a legal imperative to bring an end to the violence unfolding
in Gaza.

Yours sincerely,

The Dignity rammed

30.12.2008 05:00

I was just watching CNN interviewing one of their reporters on board the 'Dignity', a humanitarian supply ship carrying doctors and aid workers heading for Gaza. According to the CNN reporter it was just rammed by the Israeli navy. The interview ended with what sounded like the reporter drowning.

not CNN

Dignity reported safe in Cyprus

30.12.2008 05:57

The latest CNN report is that the Dignity crew is safe in Cyprus, and the official Israeli spokesperson has withdrawn their original claims it was involved in terrorsim.. They are blaming the ship full of doctors - and a former US congresswoman - of ramming the Israeli ship in internaional waters.
This is a massive own-goal by the IDF akin to sinking the USS Liberty. The other side of the story:

The Dignity, a Free Gaza boat on a mission of mercy to besieged Gaza, is being attacked by the Israeli Navy in international waters. The Dignity has been surrounded by at least half-a-dozen Israeli warships. They are firing live ammunition around the Dignity, and one of the warships has rammed the civilian craft causing an unknown amount of damage. Contrary to international maritime law, the Israelis are actively preventing the Dignity from approaching Gaza or finding safe haven in either Egypt or Lebanon. Instead, the Israeli navy is demanding that the Dignity return to Cyprus - despite the fact that the ship does not carry enough fuel to do so. Fortunately, no one aboard the ship has yet been seriously injured.

There are 15 civilian passengers representing 11 different countries (see below for a complete list). At approximately 5am (UST), well out in international waters, Israeli warships began surrounding the Dignity, threatening the ship. At 6:45am (UST) we were able to establish brief contact with the crew and were told that the ship had been rammed by the Israeli Navy in international waters, and that the Israelis were preventing the ship from finding safe harbor. We heard heavy gunfire in the background before all contact was lost with the Dignity.

It is urgent that you TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION!

URGENT! Israeli Navy Attacking Civilian Mercy Ship! TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY!

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Dignity departed from Larnaca Port in Cyprus at 7pm (UST) on Monday 29 December, bound for war-devastated Gaza with a cargo of over 3 tons of desperately needed medical supplies donated by the people of Cyprus.

Imperialist world leaders are NOT sitting on the fence!

31.12.2008 23:56

The leaders of imperialist countries are, as they have been at least since 1947, siding with the oppressor, "Israel", against the Palestinian victims of nearly a century of Zionist colonization and ethnic cleansing.

"Israel" is an apartheid European settler colony and has no "right to exist". The right of Jews who live there to continue doing so should be recognized, provided they are willing to live in peace and equality with their gentile neighbors.

boycott M&S, fill trolley, unload some&then leave at the bottom put leaflet attached at bottom
describing the situation. I have found this a vsuccessful non violent legal tactic. In fact filling the trolley or basket with lots of small items, try to pick nice items as hopefully any decent management will let staff have them free rather then spend ages putting them back. Isreal does about 240 millions worth of trade annually with Isreal& its CEO's have been key in political lobbying for Isreals illegal acts.
Attached is leaflet which is copyleft,

Another time I was shopping once for some arts equipment,unfortunately the red paint spilt
everywhere in another shop on the way home, be shame if this happened somewhere in the furniture& luxury suits spring to mind
M& S CEOs are complicit in murder & genocide condemned by all UN security council including UK & British people except US government under corrupt undemocratic lobbying by companies like M&S,Israeli government support should be cut now,
or an international stabilasation force should be sent in.
100 palestinians for every Isreali, currently billions has to sent in from the international community in aid to where Palestinians are forced to live & be attacked.

Die AktivistInnen werden Krankenwagen und medizinische Helfer in Djabalia, Beit Lahia und Beit Hanoun begleiten, deren Basis die nördliche Station des Roten Halbmondes in Djabalia ist.
“Splitter eines 10cm-Schrapnell fliegen gerade in die Station des Roten Halbmondes. Das Ambulanz-Team schafft es wegen des heftigen israelischen Beschusses der Gegend nicht, die Verletzten zu erreichen,“ so Alberto Acre (Spanien) vom International Solidarity Movement.
“Die Ambulanzteams haben uns um internationale Unterstüztung gebeten, also werden wir von der nördlichen Roten-Halbmond-Station aus arbeiten. Wir arbeiten schon seit drei Tagen mit diesen Teams zusammen und sie haben uns in die Erste Hilfe eingewiesen.“ Sharon Lock (Australien), ISM

+Blockades!, I was just in london a riot started by riot police forcing

03.01.2009 23:45

people who are inexperienced into subway tunnels & then using infamous kettling tactic designed to provoke. Afew got frustrated & threw harmless objects then police teargased & charged men women & kids, it was pretty terrible, a riot in fact. BBC etc not reported shit, SKy news did abit, in economic times like this blockades & nvda can have even more effect!.
Did u actually read my article?,ps I stand by calling for a boycott of M&S they by far do most trade with ISreal in UK
Their PR machine do claim to buy from non settlement areas, but when most Isrealis sadly now support apartheid & massacre isnt Oxfam bosses & new labour just doing some fancy PR?.
Isrealis traders should be forced to prove they are actively against the massacres not just non settlement, same goes for any country involved in genocide & apartheid, wether Sudan recently or S.africa in the 1980's.
Yep articles do hang around on the web & I researched this without sleep, but again I still stand by it & went to at least 20 sources before publishing I stand by it, do not be taken in by the Isreali PR machine, come on people we can make a difference without bloodshed, which is blatantly what many at head of system & police seem to want.
NVDA Demo's at BBC are now being called for after such biased reporting, starting riots is what some in TSG& riot police do, lets be prepared to be able to stop their provocations& if someone attacks you directly self defence is no offence

Palestinian mobile provider Jawwal’s phone may stop working “at any minute” as shelling severely damaged the provider’s telecommunications network in Gaza.

PalTel, Jawwal’s parent company based in the West Bank, told Ma’an, “The Israeli shelling damaged the electric grid and caused continuous cuts.”

“The lack of fuel will lead to cutting lines with the telecommunications company (in Gaza) and the Hadara internet company, as well as Jawwal’s mobile phones,” the statement added.

The statement warned that “all means of communication with the Gaza Strip will be highly affected and may totally cut off.”

Attempts to contact Ma’an’s correspondents by mobile were unsuccessful early Sunday morning. Landlines appeared to be working properly between homes in Gaza and Ma’an’s headquarters in Bethlehem.

Just thought you might like to know that Sheffield Hallam has of this afternoon started its occupation to fight to free Gaza. A list have demands have been made and voted on this afternoon. There are currently about 60 students who have shown interest in the issue and about 30 who are staying at the university tonight. If you know other students who would be interested then dont hesitate to get involved.
