Indiscriminate
bombing by Israeli Military forces and prolonged siege of the Gaza
Strip, supported and funded by the United States, has led to:
*
At least 280 Palestinians, including scores of children and other
civilians, brutally murdered in less than 24 hours by the Israeli
Occupation Forces
* Over 600 Palestinians wounded in mass bombing by the Israeli Occupation Forces
* No medical care in the Gaza Strip for the wounded
* No food supplies
* No fuel
The
Israeli Government has promised to continue to escalate its attacks
against the Gaza Strip and acts of mass murder against the Palestinian
people.
WE SAY NO MORE KILLINGS IN OUR NAME!
Demonstrations
against this violence have arisen all over the world but our voices,
here in the US, must be heard to demand an immediate end to the
massacres and an end to US aid to Israel! The Israeli military is
promising more bombing and killing, and the Bush administration has
given its approval – we must say no NOW!
For the past year and a
half, the people of the Gaza Strip of Palestine have been slowly starved
to death by an Israeli-imposed siege on the Palestinians by air, land
and sea, bombing all electric plants and hospitals, depriving
Palestinians of their existing resources, preventing the entry of any
more resources and the travel of the Palestinians seeking food, shelter
and medical care, imprisoning the entire Palestinian population as they
starved and died of lack of access to medicine.
