Please go to http://julywar.epetitions.net and sign the Save the Lebanese Civilians Petition and forward this invitation to your friends.
Lebanese civilians have been under the constant attack of the state of Israel for several days. The State of Israel, in disregard to international law and the Geneva Convention, is launching a maritime and air siege targeting the entire population of the country. Innocent civilians are being collectively punished in Lebanon by the state of Israel in deliberate acts of terrorism as described in Article 33 of the Geneva Convention.

| Duh, you should start reading with UN resolution 181. It was passed in 1947. It called for two states: one for the Jews, who accepted it; and one for the Arabs, which was rejected and is still rejected by the vast majority of Palestinians. Think if they had accepted it in 1948 like the Jews. Today, you would have two peaceful states living side by side in peace, not to mention all the senseless killing for the last 60 years that would have been avoided. The Arabs have no one but themselves to blame for what is happening in the ME. |

| Is this going to be your retort against everything? Why should the Arabs have had their land divided in the first place no matter who ruled it. |

Their land?? It was never theirs to begin with. Until 1918, it was Ottoman land. Then until 1947, it was British mandate. Then Bingo, UN resolution 181 called for two states. When was it ever Palestinian or Arab land??? |
