We call for the Bush administration to:
* Support a Security Council resolution calling for an immediate andunconditional cease-fire;
* Urge negotiations now to resolve all disputes including the release ofprisoners on all sides;
* Put an end to US blocking of UN action.We will stage a picket outside the mission and deliver a letter signed by UFPJ andother peace and justice organizations.
(See text of letter below.)
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 onall sides in this conflict, including the Israeli soldiers captured by Hezbollah. But while Hezbollah violated international law by attacking Israel and then firingmissiles at Israeli cities, Israel's clearly disproportionate response is an act ofcollective punishment against the Lebanese population -- a serious violation ofinternational law.On Friday, we will go to the US mission to hold our government accountable for their negligent response to this conflict. Please join us.
Dear Ambassador Bolton,

Hezbollah hid the missles in Lebanese basements and fired them from Lebanese roof tops/streets/houses. Lebanese allowed Hezbollah to do these thing. But who is so brave or powerful that he can say No to Hezbollah.
Hezbollah speaks for Lebanon. No one has dared contradict it. Not even me. Now Lebanon suffers. It is grossly unfare that the funloving, peaceful Lebanese should have to fight Hezbollah for the right to be fun loving and peaceful. Kizmet. C'est la vie. Too bad. The UN ain't gonna come help you. There were 2000 UN peace keepers who watched Hezbollah prepare for war, to scared to do even complain, let alone fight. No one's going to fight your battle for you.
No matter how tollerant a person is, someone intollerable always comes along.
You can fight Hezbollah now or fight Hezbollah later or simply not fight Hezbollah and, instead, party fast and hard until someone kills you.
If you choose to fight now, help the Israelis. Otherwise party on, Eve!
ps. I really like your blog and I'd like to meet you.
kind of hard to meet someone anonymous, don't u think? anyway, thx for the advice but i'll pass. help the israelis 2al.. pfff
