Gaza Injustice

Why i am writing my representatives:
Often i hear ravenous talk of 'cowards who hide behind human shields, then what sort of beasts continue to hit the shield, be it a human child or a physical barrier?

GAZA- 1.4 million residents in a place half the size of San Francisco.
Land above natural gas reserves discovered in 2000 worth 4 billion US. (see last link)

More than 260 children killed. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/10/gaza-israel-child-death-toll

The Red cross wants the UN to investigate the violence in Gaza for war crimes, after finding starved children beside their dead mothers. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1053877.html

The Israeli's are using DIME bombs, which are uranium-based bombs. When those bombs hit a human target, the person eventually will have cancer if he or she survives the blast. http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009901100315

Human Rights Watch said in a statement that its researchers in Israel observed multiple air-bursts on Jan. 9 and Jan. 10 of artillery-fired white phosphorus near the city of Gaza and the Jabalya refugee camp.

Jews who speak out against the violence in Israel:
Rabi Michael Lerner, http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0901/S00011.htm

Amira Hass, Since 2000, Amira Hass has been the only Jewish Israeli reporter living in Occupied Palestine - formerly in Gaza City, and now based out of Ramallah

International Anti-Zionist Jewish network http://www.ijsn.net/home/

Today one of my local papers shows Russian Orthodox Jews burning the Israeli flag.

100,000 Protesters in London Saturday, 8 to 12 thousand in Stockholm, and many other cities around the globe.

Only five people voted no in the house of representatives, to a resolution to back Israeli actions in Gaza. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll010.xml

and Jimmy Carter

This affects me and my children, because when an injustice occurs anyplace it demeans us all.

I will not support anymore wars for oil and political exploitation.

The childrens book version:
I live in Sweden.
Many of my neighbors are muslim.
I do not know one that is not a hard working family oriented person.
Only people who i see intimidating children and dogs(weird) is Neo-nazi thugs who stir up hate. http://www.patriot.nu
The people far away are not different than my neighbors, they are not different than me. My family in the US is my family even if they are far away.
I love my neighbors. I love my family.
