July 21: Emergency Action to End the War on Lebanon

Emergency Action to End the War on Lebanon
Deliver a Letter to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations
Join UFPJ and peace and justice activists:

July 21, 4:00 PM (until 5:30 PM)
140 East 45th Street (between Third and Lexington Aves)

"A call for the Bush administration to:

"Support a Security Council resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional cease-fire;

"Urge negotiations now to resolve all disputes including the release of prisoners by all sides;

"Put an end to U.S. blocking of UN action.

"There will be a picket outside the mission and we will deliver a letter signed by UFPJ and other peace and justice organizations.

"While the world is crying out for global intervention to stop the bloodshed, we have been tremendously disappointed by the response from the Bush administration.

"And instead of rallying the international community to call for an immediate cease
fire to stop further bloodshed, it has blocked the UN efforts to do just that.

"We condemn all attacks on civilians, and call for the release of prisoners held on all sides in this conflict, including the Israeli soldiers captured by Hezbollah. But while Hezbollah violated international law by attacking Israel and then firing missiles at Israeli cities, Israel's clearly disproportionate response is an act
of collective punishment against the Lebanese population -- a serious
violation of international law.

"On Friday, we will go to the U.S. mission to hold our government accountable for their negligent response to this conflict. Please join us."
