FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
"Shame on Israel" demonstration scheduled for August 4 Santa Cruz, CA- On Friday, August 4th 5-6pm - Advocates of peace and justice will gather across the street from the clocktower in downtown Santa Cruz (Front/Pacific) to denounce Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Palestine. After weeks of bombing Lebanese cities and Palestinian refugee camps, the results are hundreds of dead civilians, thousands of refugees, and the destruction of the cultured, democratic Lebanese nation. Despite international outcry, Israel, in cahoots with the United States continues to massacre civilians through the use of banned chemical weapons such as white phosphorous and conventional weapons such as cluster bombs. The disproportionate use of violence by the Israeli government against the civilian populations of Palestine and Lebanon in light of 3 Israeli soldiers being captured cannot be justified in any moral or military terms. Indeed, as reported on Democracy Now, the invasion of Lebanon was planned months ago in order to destroy Hezbollah's military capabilities. And while the corporate media has portrayed the capture of 3 Israeli soldiers as the catalyst for the bombing, it must be remembered that Israel is holding many thousands (estimates are 5,000-10,000) of Palestinians and Lebanese without charge and has repeatedly attacked Arab civilians. We call on everyone who believes in peace to come out and call for an immediate cease fire and Israel's immediate withdrawal from Lebanon and Palestine. WAR IS TERRORISM. STOP THE BOMBING! |
