Demand Immediate Ceasefire

The international community is appalled at the government of United States for opposing UN calls for an immediate ceasefire, while indiscriminate bombing of homes, ports, highways, energy plants, water treatment facilities, and communication networks by Israel has lead to a humanitarian, housing, and public health disaster.

Jan Egeland, the United Nations Emergency Relief chief, has described the situation in South Lebanon as “horrific” and has said that the “disproportionate response” by Israel is a “violation of international humanitarian law”.

United States has responded by speeding up its delivery of 5,000 laser guided bombs to Israel. U.S. military aid to Israel has turned into weapons of mass destruction, killing innocent civilians.

Contact Ambassador John Bolton at the U.S. Mission to the UN by calling (212) 415-4050 or emailing [email protected] and contact your Senator and Congressional Representative to demand immediate ceasefire and let them know:

• Protection of innocent civilians is not a policy option, but an obligation under international humanitarian law.

• Everyday the U.S. government chooses to play politics instead of respecting human rights, it is responsible for the death of innocent civilians.

• Every day the U.S. government does not speak out, America's already tarnished reputation in the international community gets worse.

• U.S. support of the bombings, resulting in deaths of innocent civilians, makes United States culpable in human rights violations and war crimes.
