A UHWC APPEAL/ATTACKS IN GAZA

A UHWC APPEAL/ATTACKS IN GAZA
A letter from Mariam
Friends: The massive invasion of Gaza was undoubtedly authorized by the Bush administration since it was known well in advance and noted in the Israeli press.   It was no doubt not incidentally planned for the night of the debate, when, presumably, everyone will not be paying attention.  Please write the media tomorrow--26 Palestinians dead, tank fire into heavily populated areas.  This is a "withdrawal" for Gaza when not a stick has been removed from the settlements?--Miriam --- ***
Dear Friends, > > All of us at the Middle East Children's Alliance are again shocked and saddened by the news coming from our friends and colleagues in Gaza. We are alarmed to see the number of casualties, injuries, and homes demolished increase by the hour. > > We are sharing with you the latest appeal from the Union of Health Work Committees (UHWC), an organization that provides medical services to residents throughout the Gaza Strip. > > Here's what you can do: >  *  Make a donation for food and medical aid by clicking the link below. We will wire any money collected to the UHWC to help them continue their work. >  *  Call the Congressional switchboard (1-800-839-5276) and ask your representatives to take a stand against the invasions in Gaza and to stop US Aid to Israel. Remind them that though Israel is violating International Law and US military aid to Israel violates the US Arms Export Control Act, the US government continues to give Israel over $5 billion in aid each year. Tell them that as a tax payer, you do not approve of your money being used to violate US Law or International Law. >  *  Call the United Nations (212-963-1234) and ask them to intervene since these incursions are in violation of International Law and 80% of Gazans are refugees under the protection of UNRWA. > > Thank you, > Barbara Lubin > Founder and Executive Director > > > https://secure.groundspring.org/dn/index.php?aid=1171&rkey=9977&rdata=1148429:-1:9454570
