Civilians have been targeted in Lebanon by the Israeli Defence Forces leaving over a thousand civilian deaths, 30% of whom were children. Israeli Forces are invading Lebanon at this moment, and this is complicating the political, security, and humanitarian situation even further. The Lebanese Government and Hizbullah have accepted a bi-lateral cease-fire, and to dispatch the Lebanese Army to the Southern Border to take charge of the security situation, assisted by the UN.
Nonetheless, all calls for cease fire have been rejected by Israel, and the one time 48 hour "cessation of air strikes" was violated by Israel, and civilians were targeted.
Please write to the "Israeli" Officials asking for an immediate cease fire, and to put an end to Human Rights Violations in Lebanon that has lead to over 1100 deaths, and to demand a withdrawl of Israeli forces immediately from Lebanon. Also please demand that Israel respects the Geneva Convention on the protection of Civilians, and the treatment of the Prisoners of War.
