Dear friends,
1. CEASEFIRENOW.ORG : Please act on this now. Personally, I’m not holding my breath, but we must make it clear to Obama that Israel is bound to get exactly what it planned for in Gaza (and afar)–a new equation with the Palestinians. With many more Palestinians without hope and with the historic injustice created in 1948 still being an open wound, the U.S. must act now–a good start would be for the U.S. to STOP supplying weapons to Israel!
2. A look into the U.S. role to date:

3. In your activities, please give these Child victims of Gaza (best viewed with Explorer) proper respect by reading out their names and ages or placing them on place cards. Sadly, we do not have their pictures. They were stripped of a proper burial and mourning period. Let’s not forget them.
4. Lastly, an Israeli voice from Sderot:
