Humanitarian
Appeal!
Enough is Enough!
Stop this massacre!
SPARE CIVILIANS LIVES!
Lebanese
civilians are once again caught in the middle of a merciless conflict. Israeli
bombardments have killed more than 300 people in a week of fighting and wounded
nearly 700. Yet, this appalling toll is met with a deadly silence by the
international community.
Israel, which says it is out to destroy Hizbullah,
is also bombing civilian targets indiscriminately every day. Whole families have
been buried under the ruble of their own homes, which were nowhere near
Hizbullah military positions. Israeli officials announce that they warn people
to leave before they start bombing their towns and villages but what they don’t
say is that their fighter jets also drop bombs on the routes civilians are using
to flee.
Israel has imposed a sea and air blockade on
Lebanon thereby preventing the arrival of food and humanitarian aid to the
refugees. A convoy of ambulances from the UAE was bombed on its way to Beirut
and two aid workers were killed. There is no justification for such atrocities
by the Israeli army that is highly capable of precision bombing through the use
of smart bombs.
Day after day, the world has been watching
heart-breaking images of dead and wounded Lebanese, many of them women and
children, in addition to the incomprehensible destruction of the country’s
infrastructure that took decades to build. It is a well-known fact that the
Geneva Convention forbids attacks against innocent civilians in times of war.
Why is there still no strong condemnation of Israel’s actions and why is it
getting away with these crimes?
Israel is not waging war against Hizbullah anymore. It is not fighting
terrorism. Israel is now itself engaged in terrorism against Lebanese civilians.
Before this already catastrophic situation gets
worse, Israel’s war machine must be stopped!
Israel is committing a Holocaust in Lebanon… Does anybody care?
