Urgent: Tell Congress to Lift Gaza Siege, Support UNRWA
You're letters in support of justice & peace are making an impact. But the people of Gaza still need your help. Will you speak for them?
Weeks after the Israeli bombs stopped, the entire Gaza strip is still cut-off from the world. Israel and Egypt have closed all their borders not allowing any
humanitarian aid into Gaza. While more than 1300 Palestinians (more than 1/3 children) were killed during the Israeli assault, thousands more may die because of the blockade.
How can we sit back and watch as other human beings are treated worst than animals without shelter, food or medicine.

While the world's attention is on the Economic Stimulus debate, Israel continues to dominate and starve the people of Gaza.
The right-wing pro-Israel Lobby is applying all pressure on congress to tighten the Gaza blockade (starving Palestinians). AIPAC and their friends are working overtime to make sure the Gaza border continue to be closed.
They've gone as far as introducing a new house resolution that attacks the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) alleging it supports terrorists. Introduced last week and referred to the U.S. Congress House Foreign Affairs Committee, H. Con. Res. 29 states in part:
[Whereas schools administered by UNRWA have reported to have produced several graduates that have gone on to careers affiliated with terrorism, including Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, and Abd al-Azis Rantisi, the former Hamas chief;
Whereas United States taxpayer dollars should never be used for purposes of supporting terrorist cells or activities that support terror or promote a culture of hatred at any of its locations: ] READ THE FULL TEXT HERE
WHAT TWISTED LOGIC. How can UNRWA possibly know what their students will grow up to be? Instead of pumping more money into educating and feeding Palestinians, some in Congress would rather cut off all humanitarian aid starving young children so they don't grow-up to be terrorists. THAT'S NOT A SOLUTION.

Thank you again, please spread the word to all your friends.
