STOP SUPPORTING ISRAELI CRIMES by CITIZENS FOR FAIR LEGISLATION Sunday October 05, 2003 at 08:56 PM seham@cflweb.org It is time for this government to stop acting as though Palestinian suicide bombings occur in a vacuum independent of Israeli actions. ****************************** Citizens for Fair Legislation For Immediate Release October 5, 2003 ****************************** CFL ALERT: Why Do We Support Israeli Crimes? Condemning Palestinian suicide attacks while ignoring the cause of such attacks is not helpful and does not promote peace in the region. It is time for this government to stop acting as though Palestinian suicide bombings occur in a vacuum independent of Israeli actions. TALKING POINTS The U.S. government must acknowledge what the rest of the world already has: The suicide bombings, as horrific as they are, are a direct result of the continued murder of Palestinians, the theft of Palestinian land, and the curfew in Palestinian towns that has rendered millions of Palestinians jobless and hungry -- unable to go to work, school or even the hospital. 10/4/03 Israeli Occupation Forces killed 18-month-old Mostafa Al-Badrasawi with a bullet to the face. 10/4/03 Israeli Occupation Forces gunned down a Palestinian child in the West Bank town of Tulkarem. The child, Mohammad Barahme, 9, was killed when an Israeli unit entered the refugee camp where he lived and opened fire on three members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. 10/2/03 Israel announced plans to build 660 new settler homes in the West Bank, demolished 25 homes in Rafah to make way for the apartheid wall and demolished one home in the Gaza strip, wounding 10 Palestinian civilians in the process. 10/1/03 Israel decided to include the Ariel settlement within its apartheid fence, annexing and walling-in a significantly large portion of Palestinian land in the West Bank. Ariel runs 12 miles into Palestinian territory. 9/27/03 Three-year-old Palestinian toddler Lina Hassan Issa died of a heart attack caused by fright when Israeli Apache helicopters attacked her neighborhood in the middle of the night. *9/25/03 Israeli Occupation Forces killed five Palestinians in Gaza, including a 3-year-old girl, and raised the Palestinian death toll -- which included two teenagers and a newborn -- to 11 in one week. Ask your representatives and the Bush administration to demand a halt to both Israeli and Palestinian violence. We cannot put the onus of peace on a people under siege. As American citizens living in a post-9/11 world, we demand a more responsible U.S. role in the Middle East vis-à-vis the Israel-Palestinian conflict. =============================== Citizens for Fair Legislation is a grassroots organization committed to encouraging a fair domestic and foreign policy with an emphasis on the US/Arab world. cflweb.org
