Stop Israeli war of terror against the Palestinian people

April 28, 2002
 
Since the beginning of the Palestinian Uprising (Intifada), more than 40,000 Palestinian men, women and children have been killed or wounded by the Israeli military occupation.  The Israeli soldiers are indiscriminately executing Palestinians, killing civilians and journalists.  The Israeli government forces are demolishing civilian homes, rendering hundreds of families homeless as was done in Jenin.

Furthermore, the Israeli soldiers are invading hospitals and schools, shooting at ambulances and doctors, and preventing ambulances from reaching their destinations while wounded women and children bleed to death in the streets and at Israeli checkpoints.

Houstonians for Peace & Justice in the Holy Land strongly condemn the Israeli atrocities and terror attacks on Palestinian civilians and the denial of their basic human rights including the right to liberty.

Facts:

Amnesty International has frequently cited Israel for human rights violations.

Israel is in violation of 72 U.N. Security Council Resolutions, International Law and the Universal Declaration on Human Rights.

Israel receives $5 billion per year in military and economic aid from the United States that is used to oppress and dispossess Palestinians.

As American citizens, we demand that the US:

FOR A LASTING PEACE AND AN END TO THE VIOLENCE,
THE BRUTAL ISRAELI OCCUPATION MUST END!!
